Lyric discussion by TheDarkJay 

So before you take this song as truth You should wonder what I'm taking from you How I benefit from you being here Lending me your ears while I'm selling you my fears

This is the only lyric that matters in this song's meaning, if you ask me. It's an admittance he's played and playing the person (someone he keeps going back to a sleeping with?) and the glimpses they're getting of his "deeper dreamer side" are likewise arranged. He was dancing amongst the jackals, figuring out how to play the game right whilst not making himself it's victim, and then he's become the jackal.

Or maybe I've been watching too much Dexter?

Hmmm Ive got a feeling it's about coming of age and living with a parent- I just gleaned some info on jackal behaviours on wiki 'In the society of jackals, the social unit is that of a monogamous pair which defends its territory from other pairs. These territories are defended by vigorously chasing intruding rivals and marking landmarks around the territory with their urine and feces. The territory may be large enough to hold some young adults who stay with their parents until they establish their own territories
