Yeah, I think the "20 years asleep" refers to the following:
If you figure you spend about 1/3 of your life asleep, and most people live to be about 60 years old, that means you'll spend 20 years asleep "before you sleep forever."
To me, this song is about death, and about setting yourself on fire, meaning going out and living your life to the fullest.
