I think this song is really very straightforward. To me it's about adultery, "don't get any big ideas/ you'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking" because if you do cheat it'll be empty "just as you feel it you don't" and you'll have to live the rest of your life covering it up "paint yourself white"
it's "straightforward" in the sense that the lyrics are clear about how the writer feels about his subject- but the subject is quite unclear.

for me it seems like he's talking about the profit making world/individuals. "you paint yourself white" seems to signify "white collar" status. and in the end, despite their successes in life and "big ideas", there's something still missing. and i think what's missing is finding the real purpose in life that most likely isnt profit driven.
