Actually, it sounds like he's saying that he already hasn't been, ie Happy Hollow. The songs on Happy Hollow are stories, and the only thing really personal about him is his dissatisfaction with religion.
But he sounds like he kind of regrets it. I mean, these lyrics are pretty self-explanitory. With the "songs are getting smothered" and the "what have I done".
I feel bad that these amazing songs that he gives to us are putting him through this. Personally, I'm willing to accept any kind of lyrics from him. They're always amazing, personal or not.
