I believe this song is in essence about the spirit/ methods of the religious cult that was 'Heaven's Gate' (as explained below). How so much manipulation & brainwashing can convince someone to take a leap of faith, whether or not it's indeed a smart decision at all.
Heaven’s Gate, a religious group founded in the US by Marshall H. Applewhite + Bonnie Nettles on a belief in unidentified flying objects. Under a variety of names over the years, including Human Individual Metamorphosis, & Total Anonymous, the group advocated extreme self-renunciation to the point of castration. It burst into public consciousness following the suicide of 39 of its members in a suburb of San Diego, California March 1997.
