I think this song is about depression from a personal view, and that Jerry is singing about things in a hypocritical way, if that makes sense. It's all ironic.
Sometimes I think the style of the song reflects Schizophrenia, with the screaming lines and contrasting singing. 'You should practice these things by yourself' gives it a darker edge...it's like another person (or another side of him) showing their disgust at his actions.
He speaks of himself as an Alchemist, meaning he tries to change things, even if he doesn't. He could be stating how he's tried to change something in his life, possibly through lying (Nostalgia dies everytime we lie') He's trying to make a mask for his own actions.
I'm probably wrong, but even the back of the E.p says the last three songs are about 'Self - Loathing', so I assume it's something along thesee lines. Yeahhh
