The song is about Maynard being interested in keeping something in his life which is about union and oneness despite his success, individualism and resulting materialism. "But I, I would wish it all away.
If I thought I'd Lose you just one day"

Nietzsche's philosophy is about distain for any desire to blend the individual into the whole. For nietszsche, this is slave morality, or the fleeing of the powerless person who is unable, due to lack of strenth, to assert his individuality. Maynard is crying out to assert his interest in holism in spite of his individual success!

"Here from the king's mountain view
Here from the wild dream come true
Feast like a sultan I do
On treasures and flesh, never few."

"But I, I would wish it all away.
If I thought I'd Lose you just one day"

"The devil and his had me down,
in love with the dark side I'd found.
Dabble in all the way down
up to my neck soon to drown.

But you changed that all for me.
Lifted me up, turned me round.
So I...
I...
I...
I...
I would
I would
I would
Wish this all away "
lol....of course, why didn't we all think of this before?


..perhaps because it's fucking retarded
