i think it's llike he's so utterly defiant about everything that life throws at him, and he's trying to mask how much it all hurts him -
"If they gave degrees
For cheating destiny
Then man
I got a first"
and he's boasting about how he beats it all, when really it's taking its toll on him
"I was born in a summer storm"
and it's always been like this, all the way through his life and he "lives there still" - nothings changing. it's an interesting end to a pretty bleak album, and it sounds like he's saying well it all doesn't matter, im coping...but he's really disguising how much all these bad things are getting to him...just what i think anyway
