I think the general meaning of this song is not, be anti social and a recluse, but to stay away from the illusions in life that fool you into destructive behaviors. There are many things that bring instant temporary gratification, but only leave you to suffer, in microeconomic terms, the opportunity costs.
When you have that bag of horribly processed bag of Doritos, jack off, then call it a night and go to bed instead of working towards a healthier life style by working out or doing some meditating, you bit the dust.
You might think that the first choice was the one that brought the greatest satisfaction, but it was much more temporary than the latter choice and it will also bring suffering both mentally and physically.
This is especially true when it comes to the biggest deficits that one has in their life. Everyone has their short comings, and these conflicts are difficult to resolve as there was something to cause this in the first place.
The song is filled with internal conflict and to me, the solo greatly reflects that. It represents to me the battle against the shadow within in my subconscious mind.
