What does "3030 150" mean? I heard a band member on the radio say that it has a definite meaning, but that they would leave the fans to figure it out for themselves. I've listened to it several times now, and can't seem to figure it out.

I've been wondering about the meaning too. I found the lyrics but still cant figure it out
I am a dominant gene- Live as I die
Never say forever cuz forever's a lie
I can see right through it so I can't ignore you
The story changes but the ending will bore you
I tried to tell you but you simply obeyed
They didn't listen so they threw you away
Now all you do is talk - I don't wanna hear your bullshit
Is this what you want?!
This is where it begins
This is where it ends
This is where it begins
And this is where it ends
They called us a dead generation, they told us that we wouldn't survive
They left us alone in the maelstrom
As you can see we're all plenty alive
We know where you are and were coming
Lets see you say that **** to our face
30/30-150 Remembers 30/30-150 HATES
In my own peculiar way I feel mercurial
Before I get ahead of myself again
I know the where but I still don't know the when
You wanna live in a one sided world
Be prepared for a whole other herd
Now with the grand facade
I dont want to be an angel
I just want to be GOD
They called us a dead generation, they told us that we wouldn't survive
They left us alone in the maelstrom
As you can see we're all plenty alive
We know where you are and were coming
Lets see you say that **** to our face
30/30-150 Remembers 30/30-150 HATES (HATES)
OHHHHHHHH
I am a ******* machine fueled by the past
Memory's a memory until it's a fact
I can bury the hatchet and let some **** go
But I got too many grudges to hold!
Saw a lot of people die in the end
I never want to walk that road again
Now I will never give up
I don't want to have it all, I JUST WANT TO HAVE ENOUGH
This is where it begins
This is where it ends
This is where it begins
And this is where it ends
They called us a dead generation, they told us that we wouldn't survive
They left us alone in the maelstrom
As you can see we're all plenty alive
We know where you are and were coming
Lets see you say that **** to our face

The title comes from Taylor's jeans size (30/30) and weight (150 lbs) during his high school years - which this entire song is a throwback to. The reason the song is titled after the physical characteristics he had during that time is because he felt that there were many that disbelieved in his ability to amount to anything (particularly at that time ), and as suggested by the lyrics, he is now proving them wrong (Wiki)
