I think this song is about not allowing yourself to be swept along by the demands of the world. Its about staying true to yourself, even if it means being unpopular. It's about ridding yourself of bad influences so you can truely live in the light of truth. "it's a dangerous thing to ignore, it's so easy when the world has it's way. Well, then you're gone. Life, limbs, and shattered blows. Crawling out you're famous".
