The literal meaning of this song is complete insanity and isolation from the outside world.
Basically, Pink's insanity has reached rock bottom. The wall is finished.
He has given up all hope, he has "let them bury the light", to use a quote from "Hey You" (where Pink has realized he's going insane but had not given up yet).
That's why he's waiting for the worms to overtake him entirely. He has given up to the insane product of his mind, bigot fascist Pink.
In more general sense, this song is also a strong criticism to fascism and other hate ideologies. Basically, this song shows us that most fascist and hateful leaders are that way because they have insane, twisted minds, and that their ideologies are the product of their attempts to proyect their fears and their inability to face reality, on others. ("the queers, the coons, the reds and the jews")
When we cannot accept reality, when we cannot accept our own faults, we end up blaming others for our situation. Using scapegoats.
This is what Pink is doing with his delusional self: He hates and blames the outside world for his situation, but he cannot realize that it's also his fault, and not only that of the outside world.
