Personally I think Darby might've actually been commented on the Gay S&M Leather scene. As a gay male, he was probably aware of this subculture-- in fact, considering he contributed a song, "Lion's Share" to the soundtrack of a movie ABOUT leathermen (cruising), he HAD to have known what it was. I think this song might be about Darby expressing his attraction to Leather/S&M and his repulsion from it at the same time.
I think its about peer pressure etc.
"Looking for a way out / I put my foot out of line / Really like to break out / I feel so confined"
The first verse is Darby saying how hard it is to break out and do something new when you feel intimidated by your friends.
No idea about the chorus.
"Saw you on a dark road / Brought myself along / Got a sense of conflict / But i know what's wrong"
Practically means "I saw you on a road and thought I'd walk with you. I felt a little bit of tension in the air, but I know whats wrong with you." Don't know what it means though.
"I know that kinda feeling / So i built my place up high / But you'll never find me kneeling / Cause i'm too occupied"
Darby is saying that he knows he is an idol, but he's also saying that he will never idolize someone.
Definate good point, but I personally think it's more of a song about rebellion... Cliche, I know, but Darby wanted to do something different... I mean he was a facsist, and also recruited people to join his cause, ect... And peer pressure wasn't the thing, cuz he pressured other people into following him, as apart of him wanting to be a facsist leader. He himself pressured others, and not to mention did heroin, ect... Pressure wasn't a problem.

"Looking for a way out, I put my foot out of line" Could mean he's looking for a way out of the normal...
"Looking for a way out, I put my foot out of line" Could mean he's looking for a way out of the normal trend of things, so he steps out of line, meaning not conforming.
"Really like to breakout, I feel so confined" Means he's trying to find a way to be different, and not be confined by the usual trend.
"American Leather, the poisonous members" The people he recruits for his 'cause'.
"Not alone-not together" Meaning their all together, but not in a conformity sort of way.
"I know that kinda feeling, so I built my place up high" Could mean he's been in the spot of conforming before, so he rebelled and placed himself in a higher place, so gain a following.
"You'll never find me kneeling, cause Im too occupied" Kneeling as in bowing down to a leader, and he's occupied doing what he wants.
