Chancellor Lyrics

Lyric discussion by HedonisticHermit 

Cover art for Chancellor lyrics by Gordon Downie

I think it's about Insomnia (vampire, all the subconscious ramblings in the middle, etc) but my brother thinks it's about Adolf Hitler (chancellor, "the loss" of art school, etc). In my opinion, both meanings seem to work but I wonder what Gord Downie was really thinking when he wrote this...
