Lyric discussion by Psychotic_wings 

In my opinion this song is a commentary on society and how people live their lives. He comments on how people care about " being golden and on top." He also comments on how we sugar coat our problems (poverty for example) and ignore them "The cries for strangers in the night don't keep us up at night we have the curtains drawn closed". And then he says he wants to be left to dream and leave the mess and sorrows society has left for him.

@Psychotic_wings ten what does it mean when he sings Oh, I know all your reasons To keep me from seeing Everything is actually a mess But now I am leaving All of us were only dreaming Everything is actually a mess what does that part mean to you? to me it means that he was sucidal
