The speaker is trying to comprehend societies vices and addictions; alcohol, sex/porn, drugs, social status, wealth, cigarettes.
He's getting tired of it all.
He then makes a rather nice reference to space. I believe he's trying to imply that their is beauty in everything (including space, which we may see as simply cold and lonely), and we don't need all this shit around us to be happy.
I think the title then, 'The Stand' is referencing taking a stand against all this excess.
Well the meaning is pretty clear.
