I think it's about someone who leaves home thinking they're going to have this life-changing experience, but knows deep down they are deluding themselves (hence the "skeletons in my way") When they talk about it being their time "to be lonely, lost, unloved" I think the person views these as conventional experience that they have to have at some point in their life, and they're going away in order to do that. Then there's this other voice in the song, almost like the voice of reason, telling them that this isn't smart and that they're being reckless. But in the end, the person decides to leave anyway.
