I think that this song is about the two wings of United States politics. Democrats and Republicans, and in fact some liberals and conservatives in general, are at eachother's throats simply for ideological differences and over nothing worth fighting about. Take Obamacare for example: the GOP wants to crush it despite having a ton of injustifiable ventures and expenses under their belt, and many conservatives condemn the concepts of communism and socialism despite having no clear understanding thereof. (By the way, coordinatorism is the correct term for the system of government often given the misnomer "communism".) And Democrats made the mistake of using abortion as a party platform, and Barack Obama milked that platform for all it was worth to secure some of the Democratic vote despite having no policies on the matter.
But I digress - the point is that the right and left wings act as though at war with one another, slinging mud at eachother in political campaigns and criticizing eachother's decisions and ideas. Granted, conservatives seem to be more aggressive when it comes to this, although there are some people on one wing or the other who take no sides and are respectful of the other wing, such as Bob Lonsbury. (And by the way, Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage are evil; do not try to deny it.) As individuals, they differ, but as units, they at times have a single-minded desire to conquer/defeat eachother.
I think the first person in the lyrics is the United States, although it could be just Washington or Congress, which makes sense because in recent years at least, when the US government tries to make a policy or decide something important, the right wing and left wing let their ideological differences get in the way of that decision ("Two worlds collide whenever I step to the front".). This is ultimately detrimental to the nation and appears very self-destructive ("Two worlds are warring in me, killing us now."). Furthermore, does this get us anywhere? It seems not ("Both sides are losing").
The rest of the lyrics I leave up to you to figure out.
note: This sort of thing could also hold true of Conflict on The Sickness, Conflict being the more aggressive version, from the perspective of the left and right, and this being the more tragic version, from the perspective of the nation as a whole, the politically unaligned and such.
