As theotherness mentioned this song is dedicated to all Soilwork Fans.
The song is about the appreciation that people have for music, and how no matter what they go through, music will always help them overcome it.
"Bleeding, aching, bleeding, aching bleeding for nothing
for we've seen it all" = In the end, everyone goes through the same thing but there is no point in doing something stupid like commiting suicide or hurting another person because you are only going to hurting yourself.
Song of the damned is just a realistic point of view of life. The hell that some people have to go through is a tragic thing and Soilwork are making a statement that their music will always be there, no matter how many people listen to them or not.
