First I superficially thought it was about a gay in denial who finally decided to come out (minding the singer's individuality) but the historical background of the song's name (Mene mene tekel uparsin) about people seeing signs of God's judgement if they don't stop (getting away with it) and the strong crisis described All hopes begin to shatter and the light begins to fade with you I am not afraid! anaphora (constant repetition) "for you i give it all up" (compare Luke 9:23, Luke 14:26) are of faith (in someone) too strong if God's not implied. Plus in case of the leap of faith God is the one who could save actually breaking the fall unlike most humans in real life (sadly).
So yes. The song is about his relationship with the Lord
(Sorry, English is my second language)
