It seems to be about how he's done a lot of things he's regretted "I've seen this road a thousand times and I can't look back." To me, that's just saying that he's been down that road and he doesn't wanna look back at it he wants to move on. A lot of it sounds like he's done some drugs "I'll stay out until my lungs bleed. And I can't tell daylight from streetlights anymore." He's stopped caring about life and the days just keep slipping by. And he's realizing that he's one day going to die "This is so unfamiliar; death is no man's friend Yet I'll stay here until I hear him roar. Death is screaming my name but I refuse to listen to him." And for a moment he thinks about changing his lifestyle to avoid death "I can't sit here forever. Watch me rise again. Watch me rise back up" But in the end he accepts that fact that he's going to die some day and basically decides to not let death scare him anymore. "Forever would be just be so easy to fall into, But still I'll stay out until my lungs bleed. Forever is the easy option but I won't take it." That's what it means to me I guess.
