Your first encounter with the ones who make you
Feel a chance to taste their disease
Invite you in to lick their skin and to feel all as real
Your senses low, your pleasures grow
White hands sew up the deed
Another limb to lift the skin, press open
And to dream all is real
Hands wide open
Lick your wounds and come inside
With your hand wide open
Lick your wounds and come inside
With your hands wide
As the cord pulls tighter
Face is bleeding whiter and whiter
As the cord pulls tighter
Spots in hell burn brighter and brighter
Your last encounter with the ones who made you sin
Till the dust hit you skin
Your pleasures know their wager grow
You lust to feel again
Hands wide open
Close your wounds and come inside
With you hands wide open
Close your hands and come inside
With your hands white
As the cord pulls tighter
Face is bleeding whiter and whiter
As the cord pulls tighter
Spots in hell burn brighter and brighter
As the cord pulls tighter
Face is bleeding whiter and whiter
As the cord pulls tighter
Spots in hell burn brighter and brighter
Friend so this leads us to the end
Your life burns dimmer now
By our will, you've tied yourself
Life burns quicker now, with a second hand
As the cord pulls tighter
As the cord pulls tighter
As the cord pulls tighter
As the cord pulls tighter
Feel a chance to taste their disease
Invite you in to lick their skin and to feel all as real
Your senses low, your pleasures grow
White hands sew up the deed
Another limb to lift the skin, press open
And to dream all is real
Hands wide open
Lick your wounds and come inside
With your hand wide open
Lick your wounds and come inside
With your hands wide
As the cord pulls tighter
Face is bleeding whiter and whiter
As the cord pulls tighter
Spots in hell burn brighter and brighter
Your last encounter with the ones who made you sin
Till the dust hit you skin
Your pleasures know their wager grow
You lust to feel again
Hands wide open
Close your wounds and come inside
With you hands wide open
Close your hands and come inside
With your hands white
As the cord pulls tighter
Face is bleeding whiter and whiter
As the cord pulls tighter
Spots in hell burn brighter and brighter
As the cord pulls tighter
Face is bleeding whiter and whiter
As the cord pulls tighter
Spots in hell burn brighter and brighter
Friend so this leads us to the end
Your life burns dimmer now
By our will, you've tied yourself
Life burns quicker now, with a second hand
As the cord pulls tighter
As the cord pulls tighter
As the cord pulls tighter
As the cord pulls tighter

The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support.
"Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.

Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
