This is not a throwaway as GaiusJulius implies. It's a throwback to the "Tire Me" song. Although, it's subtle in text, it is incredibly deep. I think Zack was influenced by the song "You're Already Dead" by the Crass.
"If you fear dying" refers to an individual who fears rebellion and the struggle. This person enjoys their complacence.
If you are silent, an observer, keeping in line or doing "what you're told," being passive and content as long as you get yours, choosing to sit idly, instead of seeking the truth, speaking out and acting against injustice then you're already dead. You are just a number, branded X, a vegetable, a drone.
