Here's a possible meaning... This song is actually about the fan reaction to the Mike Portnoy/Dream Theater split... from Portnoy's point of view.
"Today...a savior...
Tonight, I am the new messiah you deify.
When I'm no longer desired,
I'll be crucified."
The song could represent the reaction from some ungrateful fans when MP split. Yes, I know Petrucci wrote the lyrics, but you don't need to be Portnoy to understand what he's been put through by "fans".
