To me it seems to represent the bipolar disorder Devin was diagnosed with, in a way that no one will understand him (or them) except himself.
They laughed at me but we never bothered
He is happy just the way he is, even though people picked on him for having mental problems
In things you are
Are things I need to be
My friends were there but they never bothered
His friends knew of the troubled mind, but they still accepted him. Also, he also accepted it: what he is was also what his other personality is, because they share the body.
And it comes...
To make sure that he will never rise
Maybe he finally was cured, and with the death of the problem, he made a song about it - thus musical.
Don't die on me
Don't go away
When I need you here
In my need
Finally he discovers that he misses the other personality, perhaps as a source of confidence in friendship (within), and he feels lonesome with the other side gone.
My friends have come and I never bothered
Myself and I
There is no other
His friends finally had had enough of the mental problems and left him, before his curing?
Now it's just himself alone.
