it sounds to me like the people around him are dragging him down, and he wants no more of it, "the killing is over", meaning he won't be killed by them emotionally anymore. also, he mentions maybe some resonating damage from his parents or parent who deserted him, "deserted the seed, you've buried the bottle". he may also have been abused as a child from the lines directly before. it's such a great mudvayne song, kind of inspiring in times of sadness.
