As a Christian band, the vast majority of Theocracy's music is about Christianity. Unlike many other groups, however, their songs tend to deal with deep theological concepts.
In essence, Hide in the Fairytale is an argument against Humanism--the belief that mankind is naturally good. Instead, the singer argues that humans are born corrupt, with a natural tendency to give in to evil.
In this song, Theocracy describes the Fallen (ie: naturally evil) Nature of mankind in great detail, then finishes by arguing that the only solution for this "Soulsickness" is submission to Jesus Christ. This incorporates a message of Redemption into what is otherwise a brutal denunciation of Humankind.
