As a sufferer of a mood disorder, I've always related this song to the idea that psychiatry promises to curb our tendencies to be who we really are... how medication changes the way our brains function and therefore we somehow lose at least a little bit of who we are... back when i was very adamantly opposed to being (re)medicated, this was my anthem, because at that time i was very conscious to the idea that taking these medications that may or may not HELP me would bring with it a price...
In short, i feel that the narrator is lashing out against medicated states, and that he says no matter what he's going to be who he really is, and won't use drugs to help him along...
