Question:
Okay, so here's a little Tom Stoppard-inspired song...pop-punk, if you're wondering.
I used to think "to be or not to be" was the question
But now in retrospect I see I was so mistaken
Because I can't see the method
In this madness we call life
And the strife stands here unshaken, unshaken
And everyone around us stays the same
Like part of some gigantic game
And now I collide with reality
Taking issue with the darkness I can't see
I only know the Truth; I cannot pretend
The world will escape
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's revenge
And I sink into the maze of questions that are haunting
You can't disprove that this world is always daunting
But call me up just when
You think you've got me all figured out
I've got to tell you, good luck hunting, hunting
And only friendship's gonna stay the same
Because this world is not a game
And now I collide with reality
Taking issue with the darkness I can't see
I only know the Truth; I cannot pretend
The world will escape
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's revenge
Because we all collide with reality
And it doesn't matter what we all see
We just have the Truth, don't need to pretend
And the world isn't ready
For Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's revenge
And the fingernails grow after death,
As does the beard
And this coin shows heads again-
Just as I feared
Don't bother asking what goes on
Inside my head
Because I know the real question:
"Are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern really dead?"

And the strife stands here unshaken, unshaken Life/strife tends to be a really weak rhyme. It doesn't have to be, but I've very rarely seen it be anything but unsatisfactory, and it is unsatisfactory here.

I also don't see how the rest of the verse addresses any reasons for "to be or not to be" being a question. In fact, it seems a lot like a ponderance of why not to be.
And everyone around us stays the same
Like part of some gigantic game
And now I collide with reality

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's revenge I'm not sure what to say about this, because stylistically, nothing jumps to mind except overuse of "and" and I'm not really catching what you're saying, which leaves me hamstrung in regards to UCing. It's probably just been too long since I last read Hamlet.
And as I sink into the mist of questions haunting
You can't disprove that this world is just so daunting
But call me up just when
You think you've got me all figured out
I've got to tell you, good luck hunting, hunting I hate the word order on the first line. If you can do anything to change 'questions haunting" do so. 'Just so" doesn't feel like it fits in the second line.
And only friendship's gonna stay the same
Because this world is nothing like a game
And now I collide with reality
Taking issue with the darkness I can't see
I only know the Truth; I cannot pretend
The world will escape
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's revenge

And it doesn't matter what we all see
We just have the Truth, don't need to pretend
And the world isn't ready
For Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's revenge "Because this world is nothing like a game" is two syllables longer than "Like part of some gigantic game" and it feels awkward.
And the fingernails grow after death,
As does the beard
And this coin shows heads again-
Just as I feared
Don't even talk to me about
That kid Alfred
Because I know the real question:
"Are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern really dead?" The first four lines and the last two are some of the strongest, if not the strongest, in the song, but the fifth and sixth lines are terrible. The problem with this section is one that I notice all through the song; you're simultaneously using a slightly more poetic, almost archaic voice, along with a more colloquial style, and it doesn't mesh well.
Overall, the lyrics aren't bad, but they aren't stunningly excellent either.
Answer:
The central idea of the song kinda goes like this...
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, in Hamlet and in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, are basically a couple of guys who are really clueless as to everything that's going on around them. They just hold on to a few central ideas, simple ideas...especially in R&G are Dead.
So I'm taking this idea of a couple simpletons living life and applying it over to life, especially with the song's title (The Meek Shall Inherit). "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern's revenge" refers to the fact that it's going to be the people who hold fast to their beliefs, not the people who know their way around the world, who will make it in the end. Which is why I've got the last line: are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern really dead?
The first verse basically addresses just how confusing life is. And some of it is wordplay off of Hamlet (to be or not to be, method to his madness)
I did go back and rework some of the wording.
