All psychological metaphors if you ask me. Not wanting to go on because everything is so chaotic and unclear, but there is no way back. So you stuck in this little line between future and past, always pressed forward by other people. Like you are in a cage that they've got in their hand. The first line is the most interesting in this song in my opinion...sounds like he made self-injuring once. "Eating my wrists" sounds like there was even a suicide attempt, and the wounds of it still "eat" him psychologically (not the wound itself, what it means; what's behind it). "A thrust that numbs the pain"describes the self-injuring itself. So this time was over, but the pressure you always get in life pulled him back to this situation. The scars that were healed torn open again.
