I don't think I stressed that I saw it too much as a religious song
either.  I mean, I am a Christian, and everything I see, I see through
that standard, but I honestly don't see it as being integral to that
point in this song.  All the comment regarding "different, but
textual-based interpretation" isn't wasted on me--I agree.

What I do see, however is a religious metaphor that reaches infinitely
to a secular world.  I mean, we all know someone, or have been that
someone, who delves deep into something for all the wrong reasons. We
can all relate to the grip of unhealthy habits (personal sin) or the
failing of personal relationships.  I'm tingeing on glittering
generalities here, I know, but I'm trying to broadly address the issues
I see in the song--some of which, I've only seen thanks to others'
points of view.  

So please, discuss.  I'm eagerly waiting...
