This strikes me as upbeat with a positive message - it might be imaginary 'if I was ...' and he is asking for help throughout the song to help his transition from not being the so on of god to being the son of god.
With the landscape becoming swollen after swallowing an hourglass might refer to alcohol rather than time. This might influence the fleeting belief that he feels like the son of god.
Maybe it's about achieving realisation (a time for surprises) , stripping away the pretence and suddenly being able to see through the crippled disguises to the underlying reality.
Great song, pretty cryptic lyrics.
