The song describes the chronology and line of thought of a person's rite of passage.
The first of three steps being "seperation" from everyone and the second being liminity. In this song both, for the most part are linked. Liminity means openness and usually arises in a person when there is a lack of meaningful people (The Blood Thirsty Bastards or All the sycophants and vampires or the zombies) around them which causes their seperation and the final stage being integration.
The seperation step is told in lines like;
I don’t get out so much
The world seems out of touch now
I never saw before
cleanse my hands from lies
a rumour in your room
The liminity stage is is told in lines like;
The world seems out of touch now
I don’t feel the same
In these bones anymore
My loyalties are torn
And it hurts less every day
Oh I’ve been up for days now
(his open eyes represent both the struggle through the rite of passage liminity which means openess)
And from these eyes
The weary eyes-cum shadows
Of a very different man
Only now do I see it
The rite of passage is hinted in lines like;
My heels are all worn down
I’m finding different paths now
I never saw before
The paths lead me away
Lead me away from those
The step to Liminity and Integration is hinted in lines such as;
I just need someone
For myself
Seperation to Complete Integration is told in lines such as;
Well I packed them off to hell
I got to be my own master
I pay them no mind
His hatred is of those he "just thought were his friends" who instead are zombies which feed upon his possessions in their greed and addiction "Hatched from their own eyes", who are mere "braggards, tricksters, (and) foolish clones", who keep "making plans for no one, But themselves, but their kind", who laugh at him and dismiss him as a legend but who see themselves as legends cause his ultimate seperation and re-integration, either alone as his own master or with new people.
