Strange one. I think it's about a person who knows his/her weaknesses as well as the weaknesses of people in general. Perhaps it means that we are all in the same boat? A ship led by a two-faced figurehead? Is the figurehead to blame for getting lost or is it the crew that allows their confusion to lead them to their doom? Is there a difference between "I" and "us" at all?

The "brighter death" may also refer to the nihilism and harsh neo-darwinism of the Swedish band "Brighter Death Now". Or simple karma. To die in brightness may be a way to get a new chance. Metaphorically speaking.
