Okay...I have not read all 93 comments. So, forgive me if I am posting something, someone else has already covered. However, I have been racking my brain on this song, and FINALLY feel like I have almost figured it out. Not that the suggestions above aren't good points to ponder, or that my perceptions aren't completely crazy!!! So, here we go...
'Freeze your blood and stab it into me...'
I feel, here, blood is representing one's self or beliefs, and he is painting the picture that whomever he is talking to or about is trying his or her hardest to push their beliefs/self on him.
HOWEVER
'I eat my own blood and get filled up on me...'
Here, he is saying he is already full of himself, in the emotional sense of the phrase. So, he is his own person, basically. (however stubborn or narcissitic, he does or does not realize the statement to be)
MOVING ON
'Well, there's one thing to know about this town; It's five hundred miles underground; and that's all right...'
Here, he feels, he is living in hell. (underground)
'Well, there's one thing to know about this globe; It's bound and it's willing to explode...'
Quite literal menaing, here...
'Well, there's one thing to know about this town; Not a person doesn't want me underground..."
Here, underground obviously means dead. Everyone is out for themselves and could not and would not care if he was dead...kind of adding to the point of the to previous lines.
'There's one thing to know about this earth; We're put here just to make more dirt, and that's ok.'
Here, he is realizing that WE are not the picture, rather a tiny part of what makes the world.
WHICH BRINGS US TO THE BEGINNING LINES
'...'cause it's NIGHT ON THE SUN.'
This can be taken any number of ways...BUT I FEEL it's being said with a sarcastic tone, as THE SUN never has a NIGHT.
It never has a darkside, because it is a ball of light.
HOWEVER
'Turn off the light...'
...doesn't go very well, with my above theory. it could have something to do with humans killing the planet, with our whole energy wastefulness...which could tie it into the second part of the line. (Night on the Sun)
'You're hopelessly hopeless. I hope so, for you.'
Pretty self explanatory, here...the main theme of the song...or at least the reason he is songing the song.
