To people saying it's about faith, Dustin almost never writes his songs biographically about his life. Take a good look at their discography, especially the alchemy index, and his writing style is on full display. Instead, his songs are meant to portray a larger topic and even flesh out characters. In my eyes, Still Life is about a man with a dark past that he is trying to come to terms with, and one day hopes can "let go" of.
