This song helped me through a really rough time I was having with my friends. I don't know if anyone else will get this but here goes:

I was in a situation where my friends weren't treating me every well at times but I was too afraid to say anything to them because I didn't want to hurt them and was almost afraid that I was just being paranoid and over-sensitive and there was nothing really wrong. In the end when I did confront them about it they got all hurt and defensive at me.

To me it's about repressing yourself because you're afraid to hurt people even if they've hurt you: To hide emotions cause a blow out desperately I seek in their blast a way so I can not be outdone and to finish this search for the meaning

Feeling unsure as to whether what you're feeling is really true or all in your head: I'm going to freeze Is it my imagination? It's underground but I can feel it the same

And then confronting them only to regret it because they've become hurt and want to turn the blame on you again: What I need now what I need is to live to hide when you smothered my devotion with your lies

And I feel now as I did that time that I'm wondering why still I make you cry

Hope that made sense to you, guys.
