I think this song is about not conforming to what society thinks. Because if we look at it line by line... The lyrics are pointing to that.
i.e., This is gospel for the fallen ones
Locked away in permanent slumber
Assembling their philosophies
From pieces and broken memories
What he's saying: This is my tribute to those people who have died because they questioned the wrong-doings of society. For example: Differing religious beliefs in the Middle East, The Great Depression, and even accepting African Americans in the 1960's.
Another example:
This is gospel for the vagabonds,
Ne're-do-wells and insufferable bastards
Confessing their apostasies
led away by imperfect impostors
What he's trying to say: This is my tribute to the people who are considered "criminals", who have been shunned, for their beliefs. Confessing that they don't agree with these ways. Being led by hypocrites saying that "What you are doing is wrong" when they believe that you are right.
Lastly, this takes the cake:
Don't try and sleep through the end of the world
and bury me alive
'cause I won't give up without a fight
What he's trying to say: Don't live being left unspoken. SPEAK YOUR MIND. Share your opinion and believe in it no matter what the cost. And don't give up without giving a valiant effort. DON'T CONFORM TO SOCIETY. Be different! Think differently! And as his album is called: Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die... This meaning makes perfect sense.
That was my interpretation of the song, but then again. This song is so completely diverse and can be construed in so many different ways. But, that's what I believe he is telling us through his words :)
i love the song too and i like you're thinking . especially with all the gay pride going on and maybe they wanna show that they're approving of it. to be their self & be proud of it. i always thought it had some what of a deep good meaning :]
