I agree with afrolady. The song has a definite tone of anxiety, as if he's worried about death, about not having done something special, impactful in his life.
Metabolism is not really how fast one digests food, but the breakdown and regeneration of body cells. Many times, metabolism is equated to the progression of the body, ie. a person maturing, getting older.
Maybe the career, personal life or philosophical achievements that Julian (or the whole band) has accomplished in their lives do not seem to them enough. Like, they are not satisfied with what they have gotten done in life, and are worried that life will run out and they will have made no impact or change or anything meaningful.
