Verse 1 - I think it is about disobeying your creator...ie parents or god....maybe going against waht they said or want from you.....I think its about wanting to be a musican or poet...family disowns him and he is second guessing that it was the right choice in life.
the swallow your refines and so on part- Umm not sure if this a metaphor for taking what comes after chosing the unpaved road and the struggles to make it as a musicain or he is just a homeless alchololic....maybe alittle of both.
"burn myself in cig. fire"- this means he was having an aurement or consveration and it back fired....possibly wishing he didnt disown his creator and go his own way...him looking back.
"ear kissed the ground to hear a mouthful"....he is failing at life and everyone in his town is talking about him behind his back.
you scratch the itch on the tome of your dail.....I think this means he is following his dreams....relieving his ambitions to become a musician.....I think its about him finally realising he was born to be a musicail....tome or your dail....I think just means your plan in life.......The whole song is second guessing if he is chosing the right paths in life.
