The saying "when in rome" ends with "act roman." Back in the roman empire, if you weren't roman you were looked down on. So that is where the saying came from. When in rome, act roman.
This song takes that idea and applies it to modern life. Rome is this world as a whole. The song touches on how we don't make wise decisions, how we burn knowledge for a bonfire party, and how we make each other sick by our own bad habits.
Then it poses the question about the afterlife. If we spent all our life learning how to live in in this world ( aka rome ) for our entire lives, will we fit in with those in the afterlife? Will we be worthy of what is on the other side when we act the way we do?
