Volte-Face Lyrics

Considering the schizophrenic theme of the album, could this perhaps be a message (Volte) to their other self (perhaps the personality that they don't want to rule their life)?

Is it a message of one personality telling the other that I will now take control, and ensure that it will be strong and lead them right.

Similarly it could be that it is simply a message to everyone, to not let their past (hence why a "previous life") control their present and future. Send a message to that previous you that now you are stronger, and that you are not afraid. Define yourself as it were without letting the past detract you from that.
