Song's are Tyler's way to deal with his problems, and throughout the album, Blurryface, he tells us he might not be alive if he didn't do so.
Heavydirtysoul is a melancholy song; very thoughtful and metaphoric. It reveals how he thinks how he "didn't lose his mind but he has a crazy mind to clean" (he isn't hopeless in this particular track and think he can be fixed) Ironically, songs on the album like "Goner" is the exact opposite, showing how the album is really the brain of Tyler's and how it thinks, but that's a whole another topic.
A bigger purpose of the song is how people look up to him, similar to the infamous "gangsters" that led their people. The entire song compares himself to a gangster, or looked up figure in some people's lives (weather it has a good or bad correlation). Think about your role model, do they cry? Most likely, you think of them as a strong person, but the song's about how people look up to him (Tyler), but he's not a hero, he's a person who has feelings and expresses them. "Gangster's don't cry, therefore I'm Mr. Mistyeye", a play on the term "I just have an itch in my eye, I'm not crying" (or something in that regard).
Like curiazadeh said above, "I hate to be the one to point out the most obvious lyric in the song, but "Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit," means "Death scares me so much that it startles me into action." " Death is an adrenaline rush for him, and seems good in the moment that it is presented but when he's thinking, it's a scary thought.
Because of all his crazy thoughts and emotions, he asks "can you save my heavydirty soul?" Or, purify my thoughts, in simpler terms.
In a nutshell, Heavydirtysoul addresses how although he seems strong, he's emotional and has depressing thoughts in his mind that he wishes weren't there and want's to be saved.
