Well, I'm assuming the song is about Rudolph Hess. I don't know very much about him, but the few things I've heard seem to fit with this song. The lines, "I was there in the backstage when first light came around" and "Hung around in your soundtrack to mirror all that you've done" could be directed at Hitler from Hess's point of view because Hess was probably in the in crowd from the beginning of the whole Nazi thing and maybe he wanted to be like Hitler. "All this talk made no contact no matter how hard I tried" could mean that he couldn't get close to Hitler or something. I heard that Hitler wasn't really into personal relationships even with his top people. The last stanza seems like it could be Hess's thoughts on being locked up in prison ("I can see only walls," "I slid into your man-traps"). I just see contradiction/Had to give up the fight/Just to live in the past tense/To make believe you were right" sounds like Hess is sitting around in prison maybe having doubts about Nazi philosophy and at some level realizing that it is contradictory but being in denial about it and telling himself that Hitler was right. I think a lot of people retreat to the past tense, to their memories, when they're in prison, because there isn't much going on in the present or the present is too unpleasant for them to deal with.
