I don't really know, but I think it's about how people are ignorant and don't care about what is going on around them as long as it doesn't affect them. Maybe he calls himself the jesus of suburbia because jesus was the one to bring the good news and change people's ways of thinking, only billy is doing this at another time and place.
I interpreted the last piece of the song very different than most people. When he says to live and not to breathe is to die in tragedy to run, to run away to fight what you believe, it's like if you are religious, you're not allowed to do a lot of thing for example drinking, smoking, pre-marital sex etc. so you are alive, but you aren't really enjoying life.
And I leave this hurricane of fucking lies behind
I lost my faith to this, this town that don't exist
Here I feel like he's saying, he's leaving behind what he has learned as a child about the good and bad, heaven and hell. So he lost his faith in heaven. Heaven is the town that doesn't exist.
So I run, I run away to the lights of masochists. Here I think he means that since he doesn't believe in God etc. he is choosing to go to hell where he will eternally suffer and like it.
He's not ashamed to say what he really thinks, feels and believes. There are so many broken homes who ruin their children. He's telling those children that soon they get to leave. They get to run away from those messed up homes. Freedom will come.
