I feel this is a song about how hopeless and depraved you can feel when you've accepted that that there may not be a god and that life in this world and the pain we experience might be completely meaningless. It can feel like, "Were falling throughout eternity." When you watch everyone else around you wasting time praising and worshiping an imaginary god you might say, "The clock is ticking, and you're still counting sheep; You're still half asleep." "There's no one coming, and there's no way out."--There is no god coming to redeem and save us. "I've been falling, and it's so far down."--A nihilistic reference to the feelings of hopelessness and depravity. When life feels meaningless, it can feel like, "There's always something pushing me down, breaking me down," which circles around and contributes more to the feelings of hopelessness and depravity. However, once a nihilist realizes that the only meaningful goal in life is the fight for survival, he might say, "I'm pushing you back." |
