This song is great all around - powerful lyrics, brilliant guitar, catchy bass, and exceptional percussion to hold it all together. Personally, I think this song is about NOT succombing to someone else's beliefs (like a cult) just because it's what the rest of society thinks is "best" or "right." I'm so sick of hearing the phrase "you're not normal." "Normal" is such a relative term. It is defined as "conforming to a standard." That's the problem with this world - most people conform to society and "normalcy" just because they have to believe in something to define themselves, following ridiculously intangible beliefs, while their lives waste away. Realize that this is how "society" and "normalcy" started in the first place - because of some bullshit artist trying to sell his/her ideas to make a profit. This song is telling us not to buy into any bullshit - which is all around us - politics, media, society, and especially religion. Be yourself; don't be a moron and buy into a "Cult Of Personality."
