To me this song is entirely indicative of the human condition.
The title is, after all, "Me and the Bean," which ultimately suggests that the self is defined from something much more than just the brain.
A few lyrics highlight this idea, but as previously stated, "I have your blood inside my heart" is incredibly poignant. The singer is crying out to his rational mind [brain, bean, whatever], "can't you understand my heart's blood [my emotion, my 'soul'] is the very same blood that flows through you?" With this central theme in mind, some more of the verse becomes clear.
An amazingly angsty song about the battle between reasons and emotions. Beautiful.
