(you gotta fuckin' get down here)

It's a fact I know it
There's somethings I can't live down
Yes indeed I've blown it
It's a black eye on the gang

No one's gonna take the pair of scissors
Stuck in my arm from you (woh oh woh oh)
No one's gonna try to repair the
Messages that you pushed me to (woh oh woh oh)

(some testing)
Look out, falling boy comes down
He's about to take you out (oh everybody now)
As the wind is screaming thru his ears
It's a very private sound (oh everybody now)

No one likes me when I'm shy (woh oh woh oh)
Caught up in a bet
I've lost again
Caught up in the trap I don't wanna (woh oh woh oh)
Be in no more

You forget I'm awake
I forget I'm awake (ohhoohohho-oh)
You forget I'm awake (ohhoohohho-oh)
I forget I'm awake (ohhoohohho-oh)

I want to breath in blue
I want to breath in blue
I want to breath in blue (Green as the sky from under the pond)
I want to breath in blue
I want to breath in blue (Clear so it must be a mirage)
I want to breath in blue
I want to breath in blue (Green as the sky from under the pond)
I want to breath in blue
I want to breath in blue (I wanna breathe in blue, too. May I?)
I want to breath in blue

    I interpret it as someone who has some kind of insecurity maybe because of a past experience that they can't seem to forget or live down that keeps coming back up in the present. the lines:

    no one's gonna take the pair of scissors stuck in my arm from you no one's gonna try to repair the messages that you pushed me to

    makes me think this--it's something that the person has to deal with because no one's gonna fix it for them and no one can really, it's their own problem.

    Also, the part "you forget I'm awake/ I forget I'm awake" suggests too that this person who is having the conflict is walking around like he/she is dreaming or dead, and the person thinks they are too--again the whole thing about there being something wrong that the person has to fix within their self.

    sidenote: the "I wanna breathe in blue" lines are the best. I imagine the air from my breath literally being blue (though that's probably not what it's about) and that would be awesome!
