Lyric discussion by BamChug 

I'm having trouble with this song. Although I'm not sure what the singer is trying to say, I think this song is about a man, stranded with nothing but a bible and a notion that God has abandoned him. In this, he realizes that atonement isn't about being forgiven, or even about getting into heaven, but rather, it's about fixing those things you've hurt or destroyed in your past while here on earth. In realizing this, he finds that he hasn't been abandoned at all. Of course, it could also be about a guy wanting to fuck a dog in the ass.
