I have to agree with you on that. It’s a very ballsy anthem, a very, “I may not know everything about this world, but when I get knocked down, hell if I’m gonna let it keep me down!”

There’s a mention of a guy in it, and it’s easy to see this as a young and fragile Lestat:

He was no more
(He was no more)
Than a baby then
Well, he seemed broken hearted
Somethin’ within him
But the moment
That I first laid
Eyes on him
All alone on the edge of seventeen

He’s only ever wanted to be loved, if you look at all the instances of him Doing the Thing, it was in pursuit of that goal. Religion taught him that to be loved, you must be Good. The idea is that Goodness makes one worthy of love, even when his religious beliefs have waned. The trouble is that his formative years were a confusing series of neglect and abuse (with little love from Gabrielle), the first real love he ever really shared was probably with Nicolas. And that ended pretty badly ;A;

So he still struggles with how to love (and not merely possess), and be loved (allow people to love him).
