I'm really not sure what the song is about...but I'll give my only theory since there haven't been any other posts describing their ideas. The best I can come up with is this song might be talking about the music industry. "losing your sense of self" could be criticizing the industry for the music they are putting out that don't have the emotion and soul that other bands do. Example, you get artists who don't write their own material, who use auto-tune not just to add effects but to fix their vocals to sound better...then you have raw musicians who built themselves up from nothing and made themselves something.
"Who are you, to tell us who we are?
Who are you, you're a fiend, you're a liar
And I will summon the hands of a fighter
And you will know, who we are"
Could be talking about failed attempts at getting signed, people telling them they don't have a sound that'll sell, etc..and they counter with that they won't give up until their material is heard.
I don't know, I could be TOTALLY off. It's just my interpretation. :)
