I think it's about overcoming intimidating circumstances. Alligators are predators, so he's talking about not only overcoming adversity, but blasting directly into it like a rocket and fulfilling your true potential...kind of like a rocket soaring into an Alligator Sky. I think the "you" in the chorus MIGHT refer to Jesus (i.e. Where was I when they crucified you?), since Adam IS a Christian, but that's just me.
