To me this song is about accepting your choices whether you are proud of them or not. It's about findings peace with where your actions have brought you and knowing that you are in control when your eyes open up to the sunrise every day. The repetition of "God made man and his reason" (sometimes changed to "for some reason" when the band plays it live) to me points out that we are creatures of thought more than any other animal on the planet. We are the only species that tried to justify our actions.
