	Well, my understanding of the term "Samsara" is that it is the term in Hinduism and Buddhism for the cycle of death and rebirth (Which brings only pain until one can transcend it and escape rebirth) Just glancing at the lyrics here it seems to be about someone who has studied and prayed in various religions and he's no longer accepting of the Eastern mystisism.
