I think that this song is about coming to that crossroads in your life, or at least when you come to question where you are going in your life. In the first part, he's talking about a dark time in his life, when he remembers that strange things were happening, but he was paying attention to looking for something else. In the chorus he is talking about how just being one of the hive made him get laid, but he still thinks of where it all started and where it all ends. And he's underneath this Marquee Moon, which I'm taking to be just a metaphor for the changes you must take in life. In the man verse, it's pretty straight-forward, and then the Cadillac lines are about how he tries to take a stab at getting away, but instead is dropped back out in the graveyard. Maybe the message is that "As hard as you try to change, you're always going to end up back in that graveyard." Wow. Cool.
