this song is talking about how words have lost so much meaning, since "we speak the way we breathe" he's saying that there is just an endless amount of inane bullshit that people blather on about like it actually matters... when it really doesn't. the contasting "promises... words" at the end just shows what promises really are; words... and then only time they are any good is if the person that promises is really worth their word.
