I think this song is definitely about his experiences in prison. I think you guys are half right. The lines about the coffin and the dice make me feel like he had to man up in prison and expect trouble and he felt like he was facing death, but i also think, from the video and the lyrics that maybe there was a girl that helped him and was there for him and loved him, but couldn't help him. So he had to help himself and maybe change, he was running from his past and hopes it doesn't catch up with him. Maybe It's just about making a fresh start and putting it behind him.
