As far as this song in particular is concerned, the meaning actually is quite clear. I'm not sure what context he is saying "I thought I was dead" in. The song is generally about having an utter hatred for the world around you, expressed by the line "survival of the fittest was a bullshit lie"...suggesting that survival of the fittest obviously isn't in full effect when you take into account all the garbage human beings that have been produced and allowed to thrive. It's about being fucking fed up with everything and having no sympathy or remorse for anything, and worrying only about yourself.

Great song when you're pissed the fuck off.
Surprised Emmure hasn't done a cover of it.
