What's Wrong Lyrics
Came back as some bones and so cynical
This skin don't feel like home
It's all overgrown but you'll never know
Take the mirror from the wall so I can't see myself at all
Don't wanna see another damn inch of my skull
Forget the poems of saints and ghosts
I'm the one I fear the most
Little did I know that I was only crying wolf
I know it's so wrong but I'm so far gone
Don't need you to tell me I'm so cynical
Quit being so over-skeptical
Don't need a metaphor for you to know I'm miserable
I don't need a metaphor for you to know I'm miserable
Push and pull
Oh it's all getting old
No I didn't want this throne
Only fools make feasts of gold
They rot the fruit on tables
When did I get so pitiful
Just a goddamn corpse in a centerfold
You got my back against the wall
And now I can't ever get comfortable
No I never sold my soul
If I ever do throw my bones to the wolves
No I never sold my soul
No I never sold mine
I know it's so wrong but I'm so far gone
Don't need you to tell me I'm so cynical
Quit being so over-skeptical
Don't need a metaphor for you to know I'm miserable
I don't need a metaphor for you to know I'm miserable
I don't need a metaphor for you to know I'm miserable
No I never sold my soul
No I never sold my soul
No I never sold my soul
No I never sold my
[x5]
I know it's so wrong but I'm so far gone
Don't need you to tell me I'm so cynical
Quit being so over-skeptical
Don't need a metaphor for you to know I'm miserable
I don't need a metaphor for you to know I'm miserable
I don't need a metaphor for you to know I'm miserable
This skin don't feel like home
It's all overgrown but you'll never know
Take the mirror from the wall so I can't see myself at all
Don't wanna see another damn inch of my skull
Forget the poems of saints and ghosts
I'm the one I fear the most
Little did I know that I was only crying wolf
Don't need you to tell me I'm so cynical
Quit being so over-skeptical
Don't need a metaphor for you to know I'm miserable
I don't need a metaphor for you to know I'm miserable
Oh it's all getting old
No I didn't want this throne
Only fools make feasts of gold
They rot the fruit on tables
When did I get so pitiful
Just a goddamn corpse in a centerfold
You got my back against the wall
And now I can't ever get comfortable
No I never sold my soul
If I ever do throw my bones to the wolves
No I never sold my soul
No I never sold mine
Don't need you to tell me I'm so cynical
Quit being so over-skeptical
Don't need a metaphor for you to know I'm miserable
I don't need a metaphor for you to know I'm miserable
I don't need a metaphor for you to know I'm miserable
No I never sold my soul
No I never sold my soul
No I never sold my
[x5]
Don't need you to tell me I'm so cynical
Quit being so over-skeptical
Don't need a metaphor for you to know I'm miserable
I don't need a metaphor for you to know I'm miserable
I don't need a metaphor for you to know I'm miserable

I think this song is about someone swimming in a sea of depression and basically saying, yeah I am depressed and I fully aware of it. They feel no need to be be ashamed of their unhappiness, it's become a part of them at this time and this song is them singing about their acceptance of it. As for outsiders who mock them for it, they're saying, it's me and I am going through a dark period and I don't need you to tell me what I am going through, cause I am me and I can and will face this on my own, in my own way.
@EternalTearsOfSorrow I agree, and I posted a few other interpretations I could see in the comments.

Talk about interpretation ~ Taking a stab at this music video's meaning, this song goes along with the lyrics. Even though at first, the lyrics aren't understood by the way that she sings them. (I thought that she was saying invincible or invisible, not miserable)
My interpretation: The girls dancing on their laps are their 'demons' (dressed in black/could represent problems, but I think - depression). "Don't need a metaphor miserable" (to show you I'm depressed) She deals with, then fights the "demons" off of her because no one can see her sadness. Hence why they're blindfolded (they represent her sadness/depression) "Two years gone, came back as some bones and so cynical This skin don't feel like home It's all overgrown but you'll never know" (depression of 2 years is my guess) She fights during the scene featuring her on the table and intense black and white strobe lights. Then she's left blind because she's fighting by alone, by herself. Don't need a metaphor (to show you I'm depressed) miserable. Something is definitely obvious and unnoticed.
This skin don't feel like home It's all overgrown but you'll never know Take the mirror from the wall so I can't see myself at all Don't wanna see another damn inch of my skull Forget the poems of saints and ghosts I'm the one I fear the most Little did I know that I was only crying wolf (She fights because no one can see her sadness, hence why they're blinded.)
In the end... even she's blinded herself, maybe she is overtaken or it could represent that she became (or wants to become) like everyone else - finding bliss in being ignorant. "I know it's so wrong but I'm so far gone."
Some supportive, and extremely powerful lyrics from this song are as follows: "Push and pull Oh, it's all getting old No I didn't want this throne Only fools make feasts of gold They rot the fruit on tables When did I get so pitiful Just a goddamn corpse in a centerfold You got my back against the wall And now I can't ever get comfortable No, I never sold my soul If I ever do throw my bones to the wolves"
