Lyric discussion by sokorny 

The big question to unravel the song is perhaps identifying who is the "you" in the song??

Who has a hold on them? The government? Corporations? Another person? An emotion?

The main theme of the song to me appears to be about a sense of hopelessness. That is, they can see problems but they can not act on these for some reason ... I am not entirely sure they devolve the why.
