I agree that the first part may be about running from the oppression of a homophobic society, but the second part I think is Brett´s personal and about some desire for running from life he lived, the last section may be pointed at anyone trying something like that - modern boy is who finds the strenght to that
and the verse "He's on your left, I'm on your right" may refer to the blessed Trinity and also Brett´s and His ideologic support
