the song isn't about being different neither is it solely about the music industry. he is talking about how everyone has a purpose in life. we are all born with a dream, which is our destination in life. (dream on.. these voices tell me go) he feels that he is being called to do something to help the world. his views need to be heard by society but he doesnt know if they will accept him (ill never get why the earth is a puzzle that ill never fit, im not every world, so why should i leave my sanctuary man, the whole thought of that is scary, how do i know that the kind will truly hear me out, will they understand im flying from a different route) he wants to help but helping the whole world is a frustrating task when no one is willing to listen. still, he feels that it needs to be done (pose as a human being, mother moon tells me that people need my help, i guess these are the cards she threw out and dealt, she said i gotta do it alone, she said i gotta do it alone.....i guess i gotta go) he realizes that no one else is up to the task so he needs to step up to the task, sacrificing everything else. such as starting a family and leaving everything important to him (she said to pack my bags dawg, and never look back, this is something that i have to do, a hero to save the world, a hero with no girl or no family, just sacrafice and some friends) he feels that he is weird because of the way he thinks but accepts that he just isnt the same as everyone else.(remember your not strange but you are not the same mane) he is not being conceited by saying he is the one to change the world he is simply stating that no one else is willing to. (you gotta do it alone man) he himself is not going to be the significant change in the world, but what he will do will be the change.(its bigger then you man) "it" is referring to his dream in the beginning of the song
