Lyrics
Dear boy, tell me where you're running off to now boy?
Who will be the one to break your fall boy?

Dear boy, forget all closure and start hiding now, boy
Cause it’s about time that they hunt you down, boy

Say goodbye to all the others
Call it close and crunch the numbers
Wash your hands and wash your feet
Walk on water

Find me someone to blame
Find me somewhere to aim
And I don’t know no right or wrong
A melody without a song

Show me the truth inside
Show me to stay alive
Cause I don’t know no right or wrong
A melody without a song

Dear boy, can you tell me who will hold the blame now?
Where will our fingers point if not at you now?

Dear boy tell the wolves you’re finally coming home now

Do what you are best at, burn it all down

Say goodbye to all the others
Call it close and crunch the numbers
Wash your hands and wash your feet
Walk on water

Find me someone to blame
Find me somewhere to aim
And I don’t know no right or wrong
A melody without a song

Show me the truth inside
Show me to stay alive
Cause I don’t know no right or wrong
A melody without a song

You can’t erase what has been done
You can forgive you can move on
But we cannot escape the tide
Of our cruel mistress keeping time

You can’t erase what has been done
You can forgive you can move on
But we cannot escape the tide
Of our cruel mistress keeping time

Find me someone to blame
Find me somewhere to aim
And I don’t know no right or wrong
A melody without a song
 
Can someone please help explain what this song -- which is very beautiful and moving -- is about?
The word "revenant" means someone who has returned, especially from the dead.
Obviously this suggests the song is about Jesus.
There are lyrics that are consistent with this -- wash your hands and wash your feet, walk on water.
But I don;t understand the lyrics and blame and aim, etc.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!
