I think it is clearly jesus for multiple reasons! - in the video, the singer has a red stripe on one of his ribcage, If you read the bible, you know Jesus was cut on his ribcage as he was hung on the cross. probably not a coincidence. - when he says "it was the waking of wild wind, blew down the doors to let me in" is when the Holy Spirit returns to the apostles as wind and blows down the doors and windows. And then "people couldn't believe what i'd become" is that he resurrected. And as another user said "I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sweep alone Sweep the streets I used to own "All catholics should know that Jesus Christ gave the word and he controlled the seas - I think that the line now in the morning I sweep alone clearly means that Jesus Christ was betrayed and had to endure many things alone! The first verse is talking about a decline from wealth and fame to a nobody, just like Jesus Christ experienced on his life! He used to be a king, but he had to die for all human beings..So on a certain way he turned over his kingship (I used to rule the world). Clear reference of someone giving God kingship over his life. I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing, "Now the old king is dead, long live the king!" One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand The line upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand, possibly is a reference to the sermon on the mount where Jesus speaks of a wise man building is house on a rock while the foolish man builds his house on the sand, only to be washed away. Those days, there were different kings! Ones thought the king was Jesus Christ himself, others thought the king was the Roman authority and other thought the king was the Jewish priests. I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you know there was never, never an honest word That was when I ruled the world Jerusalem bells and Roman Cavalry, it's obvious it's a biblical allusion. I think the line Be my mirror my sword and shield, it's a praying to God for strength. Also, the line my missionaries in a foreign field, has to do with the idea of taking the message of God and Jesus Christ all around the world. Finally, never an honest word, meaning the betrayal to Jesus Christ and his subsequent death. I know St. Peter will call my name, referring to the fact of being admitted to heaven! It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh who would ever wanna be king? This could be a reference to John the Baptist of the New Testament. In The Book of Mark, John is noted as the one that comes before Jesus to announce His coming to Earth. A lot of people thought he (John) was going to be their Messiah, however he corrected them and told them that it was the One after him that would fill that role. I, also, argue that point because it is said somewhere that John's head was brought to king Herod on a Silver Platter." I love that this song can be interpreted in so many ways and apply to different leaders I think when you are knowledgable about one subject though, you only see it with that filter. In my personal opinion, it seems that Jesus being the subject has the most evidence. No matter what religion you follow its so important to learn about them all because they have impacted our world greatly!
