La chanson aborde les thèmes du péché originel et de la quête personnelle de rédemption. Le protagoniste évoque son passé tumultueux, reflet d’un cheminement rempli d'erreurs. Sa mère lui enseigne l'importance de rester fidèle à soi-même, mais il met en garde contre les dangers d'entrer en conflit avec des figures spirituelles, comme un homme de foi qui est guidé par sa mission divine. Dans ce contexte, le "missionary man" symbolise celui qui a une mission sacrée derrière lui, soutenu par des forces spirituelles. C'est un personnage déterminé, armé d'un message qu'il considère essentiel pour les autres, prêt à confronter ceux qui s'écartent de la voie juste. Cette dualité entre l'erreur humaine et la règle divine teinte l'ensemble des paroles, rappelant que la confrontation avec des valeurs spirituelles est inévitable.
