These are couplets. So each two lines only make sense together, but still keep to the theme. I haven’t got a clue so far what it’s about. I’ll try and break it down. Let me attempt this.
“Well, I ain't sure, but I been told
He's baking cakes inside our souls”
Rumour.
Warm souls. Pleasant people/person.
“Stayed awake, took a nap
Got myself my bottles back”
Tired. Then recharged, fresh.
Got his sanity back. Got his mind back together. His thoughts are collected.
“I'm breaking them out on the street
Walking around in my bare feet”
He’s going to back to his old state. He’s doing it on purpose.
Walking around as himself, and nothing more. In his bare feet, it just him and the earth he walks on.
“I do not need you to tell me that I am not a cat”
You don’t need to tell him that he’s something he’s not. You don’t need to tell him who he is.
“I caught a ride, we caught some air
He's never going to cut his hair”
“I” caught a ride, “we” caught some air. He caught a ride to meet with someone. To refresh.
He’s never going to cut his hair because he is comfortable with who he is and doesn’t need people to tell him what/who to be.
“It takes more time to make a fake
We night-swam down in the lake
Washed the dirt off our intentions
Prattle on about bad inventions”
It takes more effort to be someone you’re not.
Night, dark, no one can see you. There’s no need to be someone you’re not.
Cleaning your bad intentions to something good. You don’t mean to be someone you’re not.
Prattle about common topics that normal people talk about. Back to normal.
“I came as ice, I came as a whore
I came as advice that came too short
I came as gold, I came as crap
I came clean and I came as a rat”
Came cold, but came used.
He came as helpful, but it wasn’t enough. He wasn’t enough.
He came as something everyone loved, but he was something everyone hated.
He came out with the truth to reveal he was a dirty sneaky person. A rat.
“It takes a long time, but God dies too
But not before he'll stick it to you
Well, I don't know, but I been told
You never die and you never grow old”
It takes a long time but eventually even the great and almighty meets their ends. But until then he will always be known as great and almighty — always better than you.
The last two lines could mean a number of things. Perhaps he’s talking about god. How he’ll never die and he’ll never grow old. But it’s a rumour, for he has no real evidence nor does anyone else. The “you” implies he is talking to you. He’s talking to the audience. Throughout the song he talks about himself. These are the lessons he has learnt. And it’s a lesson to you.
I haven't a clue what to make of that. Maybe it might clear a few things up.
