I think this song is about a homeless person, or someone living in the poor part of town.

Audioslave – Revelations Lyrics 17 years ago
I think this song is being sarcastic as if it's trying to make a leader look stupid like a religious or government leader. It could also be from the viewpoint of someone blindly trusting someone else.

"You know what to do, you know what I did
Since you know everything just clue me in
I am such a wreck, I am such a mess
I know what I know, why don't you fill in the rest"

This shows how a leader would expect people to suck up to them because they make "revelations" of them and their past. This makes them feel like there's something wrong with them so they want the leader to fix them but they aren't getting better even though the leader says they are.

"I will bring you down, I will make it bad
While you're feelin' proud, why don't you help me"

This shows how the leader blames their problems or says that the problem is other peoples. The leader then becomes egoist and doesn't bother to resolve the issue.

"Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now
(I wouldn't know by now)
Your revelations
Cut me in, I don't want to live without
(Don't want to live without)
Your revelations"

This shows how the people blindly trust the leader and even though they don't understand what they're talking about, they don't think that they're able to survive or get better without them and their "revelations".

"I am haunted when I am sleeping
Try to give without recieving
It's in the applebite, it's in the days and nights
In the afterlife we'll reap"

I think this shows how the reality starts to slowly creep in to the follower of the leader that their leader might be wrong. I think it then goes on to use afterlife as a metaphor to show that when the followers of the leader are gone, the leaders pretty much useless.
