Yea, he has said it himself that being fucked up has done things for music, however i dont think that is what this song is about.
No, they have said that it was inspired by a friend who did his best work when he was really high. I don't think the song is about religion, I think that the word "sober" is meant to be taken literally. TJP and Bluefire's interpretations sound alot closer to home, in my opinion.
