I run away
But never have to go far
Cuz I know where I'll be (living in my head)
Far away from everything
You'll never reach me
Never see me
Sinking any lower
you'll never reach me
Never see me
And that's what makes me happy
Up here again
I always win
Cuz I know a way
Cuz I know a place (living in my head)
Far away from everything
You'll never reach me
Never see me
Sinking any lower
you'll never reach me
Never see me
And that's what makes me happy
All around me
I've heard empty faces
Speaking empty words
You'll never reach me
Never see me
Sinking any lower
you'll never reach me
Never see me
And that's what makes me happy
But never have to go far
Cuz I know where I'll be (living in my head)
Far away from everything
Never see me
Sinking any lower
you'll never reach me
Never see me
And that's what makes me happy
I always win
Cuz I know a way
Cuz I know a place (living in my head)
Far away from everything
Never see me
Sinking any lower
you'll never reach me
Never see me
And that's what makes me happy
I've heard empty faces
Speaking empty words
Never see me
Sinking any lower
you'll never reach me
Never see me
And that's what makes me happy

I think this one's pretty obvious.
The speaker's talking about how they get away from the things in life that bother them by escaping into their head.
"I run away But never have to go far Cuz I know where I'll be (living in my head) Far away from everything"
They go on to suggest that in their head they can affect the outcome of the difficult things that they're going through and modify reality.
"Up here again I always win Cuz I know a way Cuz I know a place (living in my head) Far away from everything"
All in all, it's a really cool song that speaks about the escapism we all experience in a way that we all can relate to. The song writing is really catchy and this one will be "living in your head" for a while. Sorry for the pun.
Couldn't have said it better. I totally agree with exnihilo. One of their best songs, too, in my opinion.
