Seventeen seconds and I'm over it
Ready for the disconnect
Putting on a brave face
Trying not to listen
To the voices in the back of my head
But it's alright now
(It's a distant memory baby)
Alright now
(You know you should just let it go)
Some feelings have a habit of persisting
Even though you wouldn't let it show
Wearing me out
(All this)
Hanging around
(It just starts)
Getting me down
(Till I'm just)
Looking for an easy way out
Brain-dead from boredom
I'm led to distraction
Scratching the surface of life
Nothing really happens
But it's easy to keep busy
When you tell yourself you're traveling right
But it's alright now
(Was it really worth it baby?)
Alright now
(Was it just a waste of time?)
Keep on second-guessing
Use my memory like a weapon
On everything I try
Wearing me out
(All this)
Hanging around
(It just starts)
Getting me down
(Till I'm just)
Looking for an easy way out
Wearing me out
(But it's alright now)
Hanging around
(Alright now)
Getting me down
(But it's alright now)
Looking for an easy way out
Ready for the disconnect
Putting on a brave face
Trying not to listen
To the voices in the back of my head
But it's alright now
(It's a distant memory baby)
Alright now
(You know you should just let it go)
Some feelings have a habit of persisting
Even though you wouldn't let it show
Wearing me out
(All this)
Hanging around
(It just starts)
Getting me down
(Till I'm just)
Looking for an easy way out
Brain-dead from boredom
I'm led to distraction
Scratching the surface of life
Nothing really happens
But it's easy to keep busy
When you tell yourself you're traveling right
But it's alright now
(Was it really worth it baby?)
Alright now
(Was it just a waste of time?)
Keep on second-guessing
Use my memory like a weapon
On everything I try
Wearing me out
(All this)
Hanging around
(It just starts)
Getting me down
(Till I'm just)
Looking for an easy way out
Wearing me out
(But it's alright now)
Hanging around
(Alright now)
Getting me down
(But it's alright now)
Looking for an easy way out

Rather self explanatory lyrics. The person he is singing about is not willing to put any effort in to get out of the rut, so he stays there living a boring life.
The video which was released today seems to back this up
After re-reading the lyrics and watching the video, it could be about those who are stuck in the rut and look to pills, bullets, bridges and rooftops & gravity to end it.
