This song takes on the tone of someone delusional. "being the chosen" ... delusions of importance. He mentions schizophrenia, which really sets the mood to the whole song, I think. He portrays the symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia quite well. I was just reading about it for a school-project when I first heard the song (just about half an hour ago, actually) ... I think it was a very strange coincedence indeed.
But other than singing from the perspective of a paranoid schizophrenic, I can't find any deeper meaning. I find Voltaire is pretty abstract though ... and perhaps his songs aren't overly meaningful, but they are tres interesting nontheless. And pretty too.
