I'm thinking this is about an oppressive dictator, like Stalin, Hitler, or Hussein.
"I found no people for killing time
So I found time for killing people "
Nobody loves him, so he kills people out of spite. No true reason, just hate because all he's recieved is hate.
"Contemplating genocide
Upstairs waving, scared of people"
He's standing above his people waving, as he contemplates killing them all. His own fear of death urges him to kill innocent people.
"People always drifting out of pain
They cannot hold on to nothingness
Fingers bleed on the concrete walls
Leaving only one nail for someone to see
Only one nail screaming to me
So many fingers pointing at me
So many fingers pointing at me
So many fingers pointing at me"
He kills people, and his country is brought down. His regime ended. The fingers are pointed at him, because no one else is to blame. He stripped his people of everything ("They cannot hold onto nothingness"). He's mutilated his people ("Fingers bleeding on concrete walls").
"And if you wait on me
I'll be free one day"
Finally, he's locked away forever, yet has hope that someday he'll get out and unleash his anger once again.
