Okay, just one note. A lot of people have posted that to them it feels like Macbeth to them. There is no basis for this. The song clearly states that he is serving a master, and while it was originally Lady Macbeth that convinced Macbeth to take Duncan's life, Macbeth took over from there, not caring in the end who lived or died, only killing those who he thinks may take the throne from him. However, Lady Macbeth does feel remorse for Duncan death, the killing haunting her, being the basis for her suicide. Yet this cannot even be from her point of view, as she is neither master nor servant to Macbeth, but grows apart from him.
I believe the song to be referring to Macbeth's reliance on the witches' prophecy during the beginning and end of the play. In both song and play, the main character is supposed to be invincible, but you later realize it's quite the opposite. "I cannot die,
I know, but anyway
The words, they maim me"
And don't forget about the horrible dreams.
