To me it's about someone who breaks free from the control of others and starts to live the way he wants it.
He used to be too weak to do that but found the strength in his individuality, maybe in his hatred as well. While doing so he recognizes that the people that used to treat him like shit aren't any better in the end, they just gave up.
"Crushing, all unwilling, this is so unstoppable, hard as nails, hook that holds, reach down and find the strength of many in you" - I always have the metaphorical picture of a great hole in this part. Every human being is hanging there on a hook and no one has the will to get out of it and just jump down. They prefer hanging there until the end because they are afraid to be alone.
It may be a painful way but in the end you'll find yourself being stronger than ever before because you fulfilled yourself and let all the fear behind you.
So in the end this is his new, his own dream of which he never wants to wake up. He wants to be completely free and individual and that is what's giving him new strength in life, even though all the others are still insulting him.
Pretty personal and definitely in a complete wrong direction, but that's the way I'll always see it.
