I see this song as being about tyrants, police, oppressors etc who use violence and intimidation to maintain power ("...your fragile seat at number one"). This is their attempt to convince those in power ("...to thoughtfully affect/your way of thinking...", that their mentality is not only wrong, it doesn't work ("this is a bullet...you can't outrun"). But the oppressors don't listen, so they predict endless cycles of violence and resistance until someone can be convinced of a more enlightened path.
