This song, along with their whole new album, is absolutely amazing. Recently, the band had an interview that sort of explains this whole album.
"The story is inspired by a diary that Jeremy found in the backseat of a car while working as a repo man," singer/lyricist Bixler-Zavala. "He discovered he had a lot in common with its author. He kept it and let us in on it. The diary told of the author being adopted and looking for his real parents. The names of each song are named after people in the diary. Each person he meets sort of points him in the direction of his biological parents.
This definitely explains the last verse better, but otherwise, it is difficult to interpret these lyrics. Still, an amazing song.
