I think the song speaks about someone who is dying (probably from a terminal disease), and their feelings about life, as evidenced from the second to last line of the song: "free from this disease, farewell i'll miss you all"
The line: "Rebel-my only way to avoid your sympathy" in the first verse shows the person doesnt want anyone to feel sorry or take pity on them
"the roads not long-at least i have tonight" shows the person feels they are only a short way away from dying, and is happy they are able to live another day ("at least I have tonight")
The second verse talks about how other people with the same disease react: "Cower-some hide in fear,controlled by ignorance/Eyes closed-the cruelest site for those to see"
...the rest of the song just talks about the person saying theyve lived a full life and remembers their dad, brother and son

IMO, Unearth's best song
