Pretty obvious, but "Trevor has also touched on the lyrical subjects of some songs, such as 'I Will Return' being about cryogenic freezing."
It seems that in the future, scientists are capable of cryogenically freezing people, so that the client's brain may be implanted into either an artificial body, or into his/her repaired body. It also seems that there are mixed feelings about this; the narrator's perspective on cryogenic freezing is positive, so I'm assuming that he's either a wealthy client, or someone involved in the business of cryonics.
However, those who are against it cite religious reasons, most likely trying to reason that this newfound immortality is "playing God." This "highest form of luxury" is only available to the wealthy, and is apparently used to preserve the minds of the wise, and to weed out the weak.
This seems to be in response to the declining state of humanity; maybe the rich and powerful helped develop cryonics further so that they would be able to outlive the weak- who would be destroyed in a nuclear war.
100% agreed. it could also apply to what goes on in todays world. of course, overexaggerated and in different words, but still has that "wealth = power" mentality.
