lazarus is a biblical character who was raised from the dead, so i think the title refers to all the kids who bring up old, irrelevant things to anthony, like how he feels about saosin or why he won't play "seven years" anymore.
i can imagine how frustrating it is to apart of something successful like circa survive, yet people ask you about some band you started in high school. anthony just really doesn't care about zolof or saosin or anything he used to be in.
overall, i think the song talks about shit that don't matter, such as anthony's fame. so many people put him on a pedestal, but he's a regular guy. the whole song, anthony is saying like, i wish i wasn't famous because i don't care about that. at the end, he's thinking about how incredibly lucky he is that he gets to live his dream as a musician, but at the same time he feels really lonely because he probably can't find people who love him just for who he is.
he doesn't want to be "anthony green from circa survive!!!" and he doesn't want to be associated with things from his past, either.
I think you're half right, it's about how people bring up the past, but I think it's more that he wants to be known from Circa Survive or his solo-project then from them or what he did with them.

I don't think he'd like the fame he gets from Circa Survive, because he didn't form them, he found them and joined them, and to me that seems like he'd want to be there.

the one line:
"I won't be offended if no one sings,
I just wanna know what that'll mean"

"I won't be offended if no one sings,

Possibly refers to the fact that he's...
Possibly refers to the fact that he's a musician because he loves music, not fame, but if no one likes his music, what would that mean?
it's prety much the same for:
"I won't be offended if no one stays,
I'll just blame it all on my old age"
Means that he doesn't care if he loses his fame, he'll still love music.
Usually with CS lyrics, there's a hidden meaning in there, but with this one, it seems pretty solid that there's only one meaning.
