I think this song is about religion. a7x loves this theme and it fits well.
the right (right hand of god, also the right politically tends to be more religious), there's a church on the right. he went that way first.(usually when we're younger we tend to believe what we are told so we follow down the path of blind belief first.
the left. (the left is traditionally a symbol of the devil, the opposite of god, left handed people used to be made to do things w/ their right hand b/c of this)
"the left isn't better, condemning all these people for what they believe" - the road of the athiest, many judge religious ppl for their beliefs.
"no one is going to save me this way" there is no 'salvation' on this road
If I was perfect then this would be easy
(pretty obvious that if he was perfect then he would just know what path to choose)
Either road is plausible on both I could drown
(on either road he could get screwed if it's the wrong one)
I walked through the center with no rules to guide me
(he's chosen the path of the agnostic in the end)
If you wanted, you could see this as a political song too. right vs. left but I don't think that's the way they wanted it heard.
all-in-all the song is pretty good. not their best work but still a decent song
i agree with u mo monkey i believe this song is of chosing what to believe in, and not being able to chose in the end.Sounds alot like myself if u ask me.

i believe that he is trying to find a way to believe in God and still live a full fun life. I try and live my life in that way and ideas from Walk by Pantera

slomifier, being the artists they are, I don't think they're literally painting atheists in such a picture, if you know what I mean.

I think the emphasis of those lines are how from a religious viewpoint atheism seems like the easy and fun way out and "that's where [he] want[s] to be" until he realizes that it isn't "better it's just more of the same"

@mo money man if atheists judge ppl for their beliefs, then agnostics judge both sides. The songs looks more like he's on a crossroad between living by rules or to go yolo to live a full life. Or just don't need to choose between existing paths to live like others, but to walk your path to live your own way.

Great interpretation. As an Atheist, comparing your beliefs to a "whiskey hole" with drunks is a little unsettling, but I'll live.

I think this could also simply apply to any major decision that appears in your life though.
