I think the first half of the first verse he is saying he will not settle for the mundane with any form of peace because someday he will be dead and refuses to be untrue to what he wants
that he needs people at his feet and the world he wants totally and completely available to give his his heart's desires and he will do anything to have that even if it hurts people he loves. That he can give so much to so many and thus help make the world better with his music.
He may be saying that he was meant to soar and strive and climb to reach his destiny and that nothing can keep him out even though he was not taught or told the kind of life that could be out there for him if if he pursues his dream and goal. The desperation within is too great.
the song is song to someone who wants to keep him by her side whether a lover or his mother and he says that though he tears down the relationship by "being selfish" and leaving to seek his fortune he is actually creating not destroying for only if he hurts the person and leaves can he find all that awaits him out there, but that he is sad it hurts the person and if his leaving hurts her and is murder to her soul/being that his thoughts would be consumed with the pain of this and he would curse himself or whatever force gave these songs and this mission to him to rise and be a star.
I think maybe the ending is saying once he achieves that which he envisions and longs for that things can then get better for them since he will have what he was so desperate for and if it is to his mom show her he was right in the long run.
This is a hard one and maybe this interpretation is wrong but through many of his songs we see this passion and intense need to be what he sees he could be..
He is saying that despite the person (be it a lover or a mother) begging him to pretend is to walk over them to lie and he will not do that cause the truth is even if there are near and close, he can't feel it if he gives up himself and his dream and he feels he must be honest and that he must be who he was destined to be,.
for all his years of emotional turmoil, it is nice that this few days after his first concert in LA, Josiah is seeing his long awaited dreams come true..so happy for him
Will he need some kind of problem/conflict etc to reach the heihgts this turmoil has caused him to pour out the verses withj the same intensity and passion..time will tell
