Seriously I always thought this song related to depression and it's from this line:
"With one million things holding you down/ why you're one of those things, I don't know".
See depressed people are seen as keeping themselves trapped in the cycle, even though life may appear well to outsiders.
It's like Dan is trying to put it through a friend's head that they are depressed. He's trying to help them ("just some words of advice", "Big and bright are the places you might someday go")and hoping they won't die ("Hoping you are going to open your throat/and just scream") and telling his friend he's there for them ("won't expect to be seeing you soon"; "No big deal, gotta go.)
Anyway this is probably my favorite Alkaline Trio song. It's also the one that hooked me on the Trio.
