Somehow, I believe that the "drugs" parts that has already been mentioned is right in a way; that it's about John (!) being on drugs, doing what he wanted to do. Then we hear the more abstract part, which should (in my life) be applied to everything.
"All paths divide" and down; life is being lived constantly, by billions of different and unique people. The names are a metaphor for souls and uniqueness. We all have different goals and motivations, different loves and different pasts; no human is two - "Every cry is a separate emotion".
Really, I think this about being yourself, doing what you think is right and respecting that others are different. Life is what you make of it, and life can never be any more than what you find within yourself.
That's my take on it, at least in a bit of a shortened version. As always, the songs says everything better than me!
