Ditto to all above, but, as a Christian, I see a tragic irony in the final verse...
One of these days I'm gonna love me
And feel the joy of sweet release
One of these days I'll rise above me
And at last I'll find some peace
I read that as saying that he is not yet saved because he won't forgive himself for his past deeds. But one of these days that will change (How? It's your move, bud.) and it'll be such a pleasant experience. In the meantime he'll stay in the hell of his own mind and risk dying before he escapes.
