Kellin sees that this girl is on the edge of destruction, but still sees a glimmer of hope in her eye. He is willing to show this girl that she’s better than how she’s treating herself by loving her.

Kellin is mentally weak and vulnerable from all of the pain he’s suffered. He even self-harmed to try to cope with the extraneous amounts of suffering he’s been through, but it in fact did not work. These scars probably have less to do with self-harm, and more to symbolize the hard work he’s put in.
He attempts the impossible, and tries to prove people wrong. Learning how to breathe underwater is a task not achievable by humans due to not being able to breathe in liquid. This example is a hyperbole for the point Kellin is trying to get across. He’s willing to do anything for God and it doesn’t matter if that thing is even achievable. He’s willing to do it anyway.
Of course he could game the system a little bit –
If I'm dishonest, bring me back to my knees

Kellin is always 100% true to his character in his music. He takes so much pride in this that if he is ever proven guilty of falsifying lyrics he wants to be humbled, or even further – enslaved. Kellin wants to make sure that he doesn’t sin, and if he does he wants punishment for his unjust deeds.
God is the reason why he is there, and it’s easy for him to take that for granted. Notice how he specifically says that God’s the reason he has the ability to speak. Why not point out everything else that God granted? Kellin has a very powerful voice that spans across the masses. God’s voice worked similarly – just on a much larger and obviously more religious scale.
It’s fitting that he says his music won’t be misunderstood with Genius here explaining it to the masses!

Vic wrote himself into the movie for this song. Here he expresses his character’s despair while fighting the seemingly invulnerable animals terrorizing his city.
Outside of the movie, this could be interpreted evil creatures who live inside your head (AKA depressing/suicidal thoughts).
Alternatively, referring to the line above “I’ve killed so many times” this line would mean that since Vic has killed so much in his lifetime, when it comes to creatures that don’t die he has no other means of defence against them, and so can’t save the world from them.
