I really like this poem and I think I know exactly what the author is saying. My favorite line of the poem is the opening line: "The most vacant faces fill stained glass rooms," because I immediately envisioned a church and with people with straight, expressionless faces. "My mind was fixed when I was young" suggests that he was almost brainwashed as a child to believe in what he was told to believe.
"I went to these faithless places, I believed in the son" suggests that he at one point believed in what he was told to believe, but I do not understand what "Truth was locked in the cellar But it slid me notes under the door It wouldn’t let you hide your sordid hearts" means. Is this a way of saying that the truth was found out through your own experience? Like the cellar door being a place that these "saved people" would forbid you to look?
I like the poem a lot - I completely relate.
