I'm sorry but everyone jumping to the assumption that is song is immediately about the rev is kind of annoying, yeah a lot of songs can easily be about the rev but it doesn't mean it is, and to me this song is in no way about the rev at all!
I think it's more about life in general, "Save me, I'm trapped in a vile wolrd where every ending is the same as every other / we're only here to die" That line sums up the way I think about life more or less on a day to day basis, I'm always wondering why we live, just to die at the end of such a heard journey through life, and I pray it's worth it, because after all no one knows for a fact what happens when we die. And I find it scary, which could be why the lyrics say "Save me" as if we're scared where we don't know the answers to life and death, so save me from the fear, please explain why we're here.
The verses just sum up how much the world can mess you up, it can completely make you insane, change the way you think about the most simplistic things.
As for "Tonight we all die young", laugh at me all you like, but I think that lines just comical in a way to point out that by the time you hit 30/40, if you haven't achieved the things you wanted to by then there's a good chance that you're never going to. And with how hard the world really is now with economics a lot of people can relate to that.
These are just some of my opinions, I mean this song is so complicated, and I couldn't possibly figure out what the entirety of it means. However, I definitely don't want to jump to the assumption that this one is Rev related.
