@ aguitarandaheart, I think you've got some of it right, but I don't know if it's only about their music and directed at fans. I think it could be broader than that, and I think when they say "don't you every try to be more than you were destined for or anything worth fighting for," I think it's very facetious, a caustic, biting remark showing how asinine it is when people think they know what your purpose is in life better than you do. I'm sure part of the inspiration was directed at fans, but who knows who else may have contributed to this amazing tirade of a song.
This is closer to how I interpret the song. Also it greatly reminds me of this verse:

"Do you feel what I feel?
See what I see?
Hear what I hear?
There is a line you must draw
Between your dream world and reality
Do you live my life?
Or share the breath I breathe?"
"Do you feel what I feel?
See what I see?

There is a line you must draw
Between your dream world and reality
Do you live my life?
Or share the breath I breathe?"
& of course the chorus as well, the song is "The Philosopher" by Death.
