I think it's pretty clearly about rejecting the romanticization of self-loathing and self-destruction that predominated the scene at the time; specifically, Latterman positions themselves pretty firmly opposite of the reigning emo scene of the mid-00s.
I think
"Get me home again, get me home again.
Start to search for a good friend"
and
"Break the bottle, I still won't find you in the bottom
Or anywhere around here"
have some interesting continuity between them, and flow well into the sarcasm of the next line.
