This is not so much to do with the lyrics of the song as much as the video. I heard that Matt Good suffers from panic attacks, so it comes to mind whenever I watch the video. He is being chased and he ends up alone because the rest of the band is attacked by disgruntled institutionalized teenagers (which could probably have some symbolism in itself). So he's all frantic, running away, by himself and realizes the only way to stop this panic is to give in and run into the persuing kids and let them rip him to shreds. "what ever puts me all the way out", to get away from all of the danger that is around every corner.
About the lyrics though. Every piece of imagery used, "picture yourself..." begins very calm and pleasant but then changes to something dangerous (not to mention very unlikely). I feel that way a lot. Taking a simple situation and overanalysing it, calculating the worst possible scenerio... "it seems so practiced, me fucking this up", again assuming the worst in every situation, paranoid that you will fuck anything up, because it seems to always end up that way.
I think that this song is for anybody who thinks too much.
"load me up" could very well be with drugs of whatever form, sleeping pills makes sense. From the video though, I kind of saw it as facing the thoughts head on by building up your energy enough to jump into the situation. But that's a bit obscure...I suppose.
