God, it took 3 times to listen to it but I finally got it. The first verse "Please beware of them that stare" is about people who create a fake facade around you and smile just to pretend everything is alright. Once you have seen through them and you know that the world (the western world anyway) is mostly full of these people who always smile, it's really not worth living among them, to be something amongst them. To "win the earth" is pointless and you'll eventually see. After all, who among them will remember you?
I think's he's hinting at the selfishness and kind of narcisistic attitude that people continue to hold.
I'm not sure if that made sense, it's clearer in my head and at least this information may act as a step for someone who may start their own ideas.
