"You told me that I would find a hole
Within the fragile substance of my soul
And I have filled this void with things unreal
And all the while my character it steals"
Someones tried to give him advice about why he might be feeling rubbish and has suggested he is a bit empty and should consider finding faith.
Makes me think he's trying to fill a 'gap' with things like religion?
It carries on with the bit about grace, like he's trying to have faith but can't quite manage it or understand it.
Finally giving up and saying that he wont give up his soul to anyone.
Dunno if Im completely wrong, just my impression :)
I think its about Jesus; 'thats exactly how this grace thing works'
and the way he's talking about how his soul is fragile and filling the void with things that aren't real. The thing about stars hiding fires and darkness dominating his life. Its basically about how his life is full of darkness and, well, sin, and he's not going to let it happen.

To me this is more aimed at a person, about a relationship.

"roll away your stone i'll roll away mine" seems like putting the cards on the table. He will give his all if you do.

"it seems that all my bridges have been burned but youll say thats exactly how this grace thing works"

seems more about when hes walking away and the ties are burnt, the reply is thats what it means to be graceful.

also "these here are my desires and i wont give them up to you this time around" is that in the end he won't give everything up and "roll away his stone"
I think you believe this is based on Jesus simply because grace is not a word you often hear and its most used in the bible. Using the word grace seems to be the only thing this song and the bible have in common though as I do not think its based around religion. Just try not to make an assumption because the song contains the word grace.

No, I think theres much more in the song that suggests faith. 'Roll away your stone' for instance. Sort of like, how Jesus emerged from the tomb and revealed himself, so the writer does. He is attempting to reveal himself to whoever the audience is.
And the talk of souls, the way that Darkness is all around him and he's tried to fill himself with material stuff. I dunno, talks to me of a struggle with Christianity.

'Stars hide your fires,
These here are my desires
And I won't give them up to you this time around'
This bit, I think, gives the impression that he's realised that in order to have faith there are some things that he will have to give up. Like the macbeth quote above, his dark desires are going to been revealed by the light, and he wants to hold onto them.
