"Who passionately hates his life,
And likewise fears his death."
That reminds me a bit of the book Steppenwolf. I KNOW it's probably completely off the real meaning, but this whole song reminds me of someone like Harry Haller...an outsider who "eats but is not satisfied,
Who hears but does not see", who doesn't feel at home with his own life.
As I said my interpretation is probably completely wrong, but I am pretty certain it's not literally about immigrants.
