It's important to take the album book into context. Being dead represents being part of the dread army, and this whole song is from that perspective (had a dream that...). If we take that to be spiritually dead, it makes sense that we have no regrets, you take life for what it's worth and come up empty handed, you're blind and can't see the real light. When people warn you of the hell that is to come, you find them crazy, naive, and reject the truth that they speak.
The chorus is where hope is. As most of us know, logic doesn't draw people to God (you just get spit on :) ). It's being in the presence of God and his people, being this close to him, that is the only thing that makes you discontent with being fake and not knowing who you are. Even when you copy God, try to live a good life by watching him and wearing his clothes, you know that you're still dead. And you know you can't go on.
