Great song; hits a bit too close to home. To me, the song seems to be about a wasted life and the rationalizations used to mask those feelings. Forestalling change with endless distractions and a belief that you can change things around at any time; you just don't feel like doing so right now.
Time and purpose I defy you
All my life you know I've tried to
We can't actually defy the passage of time, so stop acting like you're immortal and actually live the one life you have instead of being a spectator. Easier said than done. In that way, reminds me of Beach Boys - I Know There's an Answer, though a lot more defiant and from the perspective of the person living as a spectator, instead of advice from one who used to be a spectator.
