I interpret this song as being his life story. The album art itself explains a lot of it.
"Nothing is real, I know this cause I made a deal, with the devil, he told me I was just wasting my time on the moon."
This explains how he felt when he actually signed off on a record deal. I see the moon as representing his home town (or his career on myspace), and he's being told to come and do greater things.
"So I flew to the sun, lost track of my soul on the run, suffering 12 degree burns, I learned that the sun was no fun."
He flew to California to get famous (it's represented on the album art by the bird flying from the cottage to the city), and while there he lost sight of himself and was possibly taken advantage of by his record company(?)
So I ran back to earth, Tripped and fell in the glorified dirt, Honestly gravity sees me as a liability. So I held my breath, 'Till my soul left my body for dead. I ripped through the clouds to talk to the man in the sky."
I guess he had some sort of epiphany and realizes where he is and what he's become and while life had passed him by in a blur before, now he's seeing everything around him. At this point he's upset about his fame, and I guess he goes back to his roots and finds god again.
The second verse represents his time on drugs.
"I am a fake, A constant go-getter of fate. I lost track of time, I carried my mind on a plate. I seasoned it well, with acid and MDMA. Then I howled at the moon, 'Till the sun burned out both of my eyes."
At this point he's a completely different person. He chases fate by doing the kinds of drugs that can hurt him, and everyone knew it.
"So I checked my pulse, Standing there white as a ghost. I lacked in completion, And stabbed my reflection twelve times."
I see this as sort of an awakening. He could have possibly come close to overdosing, or just had a really bad trip. He didn't like where he was and was disappointed in himself.
