I love this song - it has less overt politics than some of his others, but he goes to the very heart of apathy and hypocricy here, I think.
Every verse contrasts his reality with his "secret life" - where she hasn't left, where he knows wrong from right, where its not that simple and he's "die for the truth" - but the reality is the opposite. And none of that means anything if he never acts on it.
"marching past the borders of my secret life" seems to suggest hes finally going to make a change...
