I think it's pretty simple. The narrator ("I") is talking about his own life and how he's being self-destructive.
When he switches to "we," I think he's talking about the self-destructive tendencies of "the world" in general. Seems to be a constant and consistent theme.
Sad to think I can't remember any significant period of time in my life where there wasn't some kind of pain and strife somewhere in the world. Greed and hunger for power drive people to do horrible things.
