The song can easly be releated to the government and the fact that they are watching the world fall apart without moving a finger, and they keep talking but wont keep their promises,
But the "dying breed" stance makes me think this song's is more likely about the people that keep being one identical to the other, refusing to revolt, to make a riot, all governed by technologies and not having their own ideas.
So the man in the song refuses to be like them, like the rest of the world, and explains why he is different and so will be till death arrives, even if this difference will cost him life.
