I think this song is about someone who has what I like to call "your own worst enemy syndrome." Basically, they're seeing all their flaws and really alarmed and disturbed by them. So now they're at the point where they have to decide whether or not to persevere and try to fix themselves.
The lines
"You’ve got nothing lose
do not wait till angels sing
don’t fear the unknown road
what is diamond was once coal"
... are about the individual in question feeling a sense of optimism because they "got nothing to lost" and the line "do not wait till angels" says basically just go out there and do it. Fuck the risks and just give it your damnedest.
First off: Fantastic song.
