Forgive me if my interpretation is incorrect, but, based on his desription of the main character of the song ("he"), I believe that this song is about, not only the human need for opposition, but also Martin Luther and the exodus he led from the catholic church. "he saw blatent similarity", "incongruous insitence that there really is a difference between them and us", "inability to justify the enemy". All of these seem to be alluding to the catholic vs. protestant battle. I certainly could be wrong, but thats what I take from this song.
