This song is about not wanting to live. It's about feeling alone and not being able to find anyone that you can identify with. It's about feeling like a outcast and not being able to fit in anywhere. I would site lines but there up their, take a look. Easy song to understand.
@PsykeZ555 Terrible interpretation that misses the point. What about "misprinted lies?" What about "privacy?" What about "gift of self?" None of these fit with this ridiculous interpretation that cops out by falsely claiming "the lines are up their [sic]."

@despondent not saying I agree with @PsykeZ555 interpretation fully but I think that the line "We chase misprinted lies" very much agrees with the theme of being an outcast (that is don't see reality the same as the rest of us).

Similar the lines about gift of self and privacy fit the themes offered of feeling alone, no identity and not fitting in. That is they feel like everyone has taken advantage of them and abused their nature.

I don't agree that it is about "not wanting to live" ... I think the song is arguing that sometimes...
I don't agree that it is about "not wanting to live" ... I think the song is arguing that sometimes life is a struggle (i.e. depression, drug abuse, relationships, expectations, conformity, loneliness / isolation) and that perhaps it would be easier just to give up (die) ...
@PsykeZ555 to build on your point a bit - It's about feeling like a outcast (as Layne did I imagine) while being under the microscope of fame (no privacy as the lyrics mention). He was a drug addict who found out the hard way that no drug out there could drown out or help anyone escape that kind of darkness.
