I agree with Chazz. This certainly looks like some retribution toward Serj Tankian. The scars on broadway album is MUCH lighter in subject (although not musically) than what Serj or SoaD did in the past. To be honest I kinda welcome this as I've always felt some bands (like SoaD) over-exploited certain themes.
Yes, I agree that the "you" in this song certainly sounds like Serj Tankian. Serj's songs in system tended to be heavier and political, whereas Daron's were lighter and more personal or just wacky. The lines about nobody searching for a second chance, I'm just looking for a new romance make me think Daron has accepted being done with his partnership with Serj and System and he's looking for a new romance--a new start in life, a new band, a new lifestyle.

I also think these lyrics are weird and vague enough that they could be about pretty...
I also think these lyrics are weird and vague enough that they could be about pretty much anything. Regardless of how he meant these lyrics, I would think that Daron is smart enough that he would know how they sounded to people familiar with his/Serj's history.
And I think the line about losing says, "lose you lose you losin' and I'm feeling lucid."
