I'm wide awake and so alive
Ringing like a bell
Tell me this is paradise
And not someplace I fell
Cause I keep on fallin' down
I wanna feel the car crash
I wanna feel the capsize
I wanna feel the bomb drop, the earth stop
Till I'm satisfied
I wanna feel the car crash
Cause I'm dyin' on the inside
I wanna let go and know
That I'll be alright, alright
Just push me 'til I have to fly
I've shed my skin, my scars
Take me deep out past the lights
Where nothing dims these stars
Nothing dims these stars
I wanna feel the car crash
I wanna feel the capsize
I wanna feel the bomb drop, the earth stop
Till I'm satisfied
I wanna feel the car crash
Cause I'm dyin' on the inside
I wanna let go and know
That I'll be alright, alright
So right
It's all wrong
I'm wide awake and so alive
I wanna feel the car crash
I wanna feel the capsize
I wanna feel the bomb drop, the earth stop
Till I'm satisfied
I wanna feel the car crash
Cause I'm dyin' on the inside
I wanna let go and know
That I'll be alright, alright
Ringing like a bell
Tell me this is paradise
And not someplace I fell
Cause I keep on fallin' down
I wanna feel the car crash
I wanna feel the capsize
I wanna feel the bomb drop, the earth stop
Till I'm satisfied
I wanna feel the car crash
Cause I'm dyin' on the inside
I wanna let go and know
That I'll be alright, alright
Just push me 'til I have to fly
I've shed my skin, my scars
Take me deep out past the lights
Where nothing dims these stars
Nothing dims these stars
I wanna feel the car crash
I wanna feel the capsize
I wanna feel the bomb drop, the earth stop
Till I'm satisfied
I wanna feel the car crash
Cause I'm dyin' on the inside
I wanna let go and know
That I'll be alright, alright
So right
It's all wrong
I'm wide awake and so alive
I wanna feel the car crash
I wanna feel the capsize
I wanna feel the bomb drop, the earth stop
Till I'm satisfied
I wanna feel the car crash
Cause I'm dyin' on the inside
I wanna let go and know
That I'll be alright, alright

I think it's about that feeling of numbness; when you just can't seem to feel anything anymore and you just want to feel again, even if it's pain rather than what would be a necessarily 'good' feeling. I think the metaphor with the car crash and bomb drop and all that is just him expressing that he wants to feel something huge; anything that will just bring his senses back and allow him to feel again.
totally agree. It's about needing something big to happen in order to be shaken out seemingly unending apathy.
