Since the website is called songmeanings.net, and not BandDebate.net, I'm going to go ahead and write what I think this song is about! After listening to this song a few dozen times, lyrics in-hand, I've decided that "The Quiet Place" is a state of mind that the songwriter, or the person he's writing abt., enters when he's doing drugs. "It's spinning further, deeper". is the sensation he has when he's starting get his high, "I know you're out to try me, I'm not in this to be a slave." could be his conscience rebelling against the addiction of the drugs, and his wanting to become free of the addiction. "Push the dirt, make me feel", I think is his way of saying how, since he's prettymuch numb when taking the drugs, he'd like to die, even if it's only to feel something. "Locate what swallows life Night bird you build my world". is his expressing how the addiction has (or had) become his life, and the "Night bird" is a synonym for whatever he was taking to get high. "And then I close my eyes". I think is exactly that, when he was doing the drug, while high, he'd close his eyes, and lay down to revel in the high. Finally, I think the whole "Judge me now, to King in my mind" is about how, when he's locked away wherever getting high, closing his eyes & safe, he was/is so content that no matter how others judged him, when he's high, he was a king, in his own mind, and the "Bow down" line is his way of telling his family/friends, whoever, that looked down on his drug use that they were his inferiors while he was high. That's just my take on this song, anyhow..
