I think the second part of your statement is completely off base. Anthony is not so much about his success, but rather the music. I think that he would be satisfied to touch just a single person's life with his music (although he has touched thousands already). I think he is trying to say that even though they have already achieved success, they are going to die. I think it's more of a laugh at society and how people have becomed enthralled in becoming famous for money or sex and by pretending to have talent, when anthony is just interested...

I think this song is about how howard hughes and anthony share the same kind of perfectionist ideals. For example,
"Even with our success were as good as dead,our worst critics were in our heads."
Even though they both have been successful in their lifetimes it won't ever be enough for them to feel good about themselves.
