I believe "The Wretched" is a song about somebody Trent knows or would like to know and see have great aspirations. These hopes amount up to nothing in the end and they become "one of us". This person is full of hope but Trent knows things are over and a 'i told you so' attitude is adopted. He explains that God doesnt want them anymore and that no matter what it keeps on coming.
