I think this song is about the general agony of life, how it never stops being a fight, and how the weak are defeated by the mercilessness of the world.
The references to birth, youth, are about being brought into a painful existence, and how the innocence of youth was taken by a cruel world and friends who wouldn't accept the person as he was. The bodies obtained and nights with bloodsport and pain seem to be general images of a mechanical (death in a factory sense, bodies being gathered) and savage world.
The car at the edge of the road - a suicide scene. The car is undisturbed, no one has tried to break in, it's an unremarkable sight. There's no room for the weak - this person didn't have the strength to survive.
Overall an extremely bleak song.. but awesome. Obviously open to interpretation... that's just mine.
