Lyric discussion by Cutsmann 

Cover art for Selkies: The Endless Obsession lyrics by Between the Buried and Me

I looked at it for awhile and just kinda thought about it and was led to this conclusion: it is about hopeless ideology. It describes the utopian existence of the selkies and then says it is impossible to acheive because of reality, so be a pragmatist and hate, kill, fuck, conquer, or else you will be torn down. Then the last part seems to say that it is still ok to dream though.
