I think this song is about being depressed and suicidal. "You are surrounding all my surroundings. Twisting the kaleidoscope behind both of my eyes." that to be sounds like depression being all around you and effecting how you see things. "I'm taking over my body. back in control, no more shotty. I bet a lot of me was lost "T"'s uncrossed and "I"'s undotted. I fought it a lot and it seems a lot like flesh is all I got." This to me sounds like he's taking control of himself again, he's fighting back. But when he was under, going through deep depression, a lot of him was lost. "And now that I write and think about it and the story unfolds. You should take my life, you should take my soul" I think that's depression's opinion coming back, with some suicidal thoughts. "Time is slowin' and it's rolling still, and the windowsill looks really nice, right? You think twice about your life, It probably happens at night, right?" That's like a panic attack, and the windowsill part is implying jumping out of it and committing suicide. and it happens at night, because that's the typical time that you feel alone and hopeless and there's no one to stop you. "Fight it, take the pain, ignite it. Tie a noose around your mind, loose enough to breath fine and tie it to a tree tell it, you belong to me, this ain't a noose, this is a leash and I have news for you, you must obey me!" This part is about owning your depression. |
