Lyric discussion by Atagamay41 

I think it's about someone who tried to live by the book and realized how unnatural it was for them, so they decided to live on their own terms and go with their instincts, because life isn't going to last forever and you better do what you want while you can.

Naturally, people tend to frown on this sort of thing. So this person tries to show them the way and they refuse. So they realize that they're just wasting their time trying to open their minds, and it's their loss. But it's too bad, because there's so much learning and doing and seeing to be done out there. Sure, "living off the rails" is harder, but you have to fight your way through it, and if you can do that, you're going to be an amazing person.
