It sounds like a depressed (or manic?) person "hollowed out shell" who's been edging away from family and friends and, frankly, sanity for a while. "the universe is going to catch you" sounds like the catchphrase of a really apathetic person who thinks it's not worth the effort to try to stay grounded and anyway, it's not like anything truly bad can happen.
Tbe song is his family's plea for him to just come home, and knock his shit off. It's implied that it wasn't the universe catching him all this time, but his family. The voice calling him home.
The last little bit could be a metaphor for this guy facing real consequences for his actions for once. It sounds, at least, more like a metaphorical death than a literal one.
It seems pretty straightforward to me.
