I feel like you guys are reaching pretty far to 'explain' these things.
This song feels like a companion to Carpe Diem Baby. Go out, face the world and make it your bitch. I don't know where the Hell you're getting the idea of regret over selling out or whatever.

"Just let me kill you cause I'm oh so bored to death"... Pretty self explanatory... "Suppose I say I'm never satisfied" speaking from the record company's perspective..."Suppose I say cut some ROOT to make the tree survive" --- you tell me
