Hello,
as any great song it has more than one meaning and everyone will perceive it differently. I take the song in some parts a bit literal but also with some underlying tones. It feels like the song's character(s) aware that he isn't doing well in life and he is angry, desperate/sad and reckless and possibly has an ego and pride (it's not your right to tell me how this trip will end) he might even know it himself.
He tries to fight in life but he is ineffective and already fatigued. He realizes that whatever he is postponing can't be postponed any further what he left for tomorrow is coming today and it makes him sink further into despair.
The song is about a mental state not a particular event in my opinion. He is clinging onto the past and doesn't want to grow up he wishes the time could stop so he can find some peace in his own mind.
In the end it seems like he accepted and is even ''happy'' that he will suffer and not have the joy of experiencing his dreams and fantasies. I'm not sure what happens in the end though, I have a vibe that he commits suicide or does something that gets him killed.
I love the album version and also the live version is pretty raw and fits the theme of this song perfectly (Malta Festiwal Poznań 04/07/2012)
It's a good self reflecting song anyway, it asks you: ''why do you bother?'' Makes me wonder at least :)
