To me this song is about achieving a grand personal goal. But it's kind of mocking it somehow... I don't know, it's just like when he sings "best, you've got to be the best, you've got to change the world" the music makes me feel like it's more about the anxiety of not being the best and telling yourself that you HAVE TO be the Best. "Your hard times are ahead" also has a lot of anxiety in it. Not to mention
"Don't let yourself down
Don't let yourself go
Your last chance has arrived"
It's scary thoughts. In some situations they're true.
