I think this song is about mental illness, depression and the like. Im not sure whether it's darren's own story, or if it's written from an outside point of view. The line 'The chemical change in me turns everything blue" is a reference to chemical changes in the brain that cause depression, or being 'blue'. Scrubbing skin for days on end could relate to being obsessive compulsive, and the 'The voices taunt me and take me all the way down, They took my body and beat it to the ground' line means he had no control over his body as it was taken over by voices in his head and he hurt himself. I could be wrong, but to me, this song screams mental illness. Awesome song.
