To me, this song is about (the mentality of?) super-villains. Here's my justification:
Now the dark begins to rise
Save your breath its far from over
The "birth" of our supervillain.
Leave the lost and dead behind
Nows your chance to run for cover
This is considered to be a very dishonorable act in the military. Sacrificing others for your own continued survival or gain is a trait many supervillains share.
I don't want to change the world
I just want to leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up
The destruction of the world is a common goal and motivation of supervillains everywhere
Take the path that leads to nowhere
As the plots of super-villains are often thwarted in their attempts to destroy the world, theirs is a path that leads to nowhere.
All is lost again
But I'm not giving in
I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away
If at first you don't succeed try, try again. Supervillains never give up or give in. They always come back with a new plan, a new plot to destroy the world.
And I'll survive, paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I'm not proud, cold-blooded fate
I will shut the world away
Perhaps more often seen in anime where the motivations and reasons behind a supervillain's actions and beliefs are explored, some experience a moment where they almost see what they're doing is wrong yet feel it's too late to change or simply feel resigned to their fate (they lost the will to change) and perhaps even curse their fate, wishing things were different (and I am not proud: cold-blooded fate). And then, resigned to their fate, they continue along the cycle they've become so comfortable with (I will shut the world away).
So that's my two cents. Let me know your thoughts on this =)
I think they're just obsessed with shonen anime. and it's a valid point, especially if you do read manga or watch anime. but i highly doubt that's what the song writers were thinking, sorry.

Probably not the original intent of the writers, but as soon as I heard this song I thought of the same thing! If you know the stories of some of the "villians" in any tv show or movie, it really fits with a lot of them!

Wow, guy/girl. You are crazy. But you may be right. Although you may read too many comics books, Doc Oc.
