i think that the song is about somebody who's made one too many bad decisions in life. in this case, rocky is trying to take him out of whatever mess the guy has gotten himself into.
"I don't want to have to bury you like this
something's gotta get your attention
if I have to crack open your skull with my fist
I'll let the light and the sound escape"
"bury you like this" meaning he doesn't want to have to see this guy go the way he is, and the rest of the verse is self explanitory --- getting his attention to help him get out.
and what finally does it from my p.o.v. is
"the only thing you can't afford is to keep buying the lines you're fed"
this verse is talking about the guy being broke all the time and there's why --- he's doing lines.
"the demons of regret are making your deathbed"
that is pretty powerful in itself, stating that this guy has so much guilt and regret in his life that its literally killing him.
all in all -- the "light and sound" is the guy coming out of his mess --- or so i think?
