There don't seem to be any interviews on this song. I agree with most of what the others have said, but I think it can be defined like:

The writer wants to take a break from something bothering his conscious. The first thing that I think is about is the media. "I take the things that my friends say I Should take" describes this.

In the chorus "The one" is probably referring to people/the media, who will eventually make the writer burn up "lead me straight into the sun" with stress over trying to make an impression with a standard set by the mass media.

That's basically what I pick up from the song.
