Most of you are wrong, some are right about the internal part. This song holds a completely internal meaning. It has nothing to do with Satan or God. You people are convinced almost every Chevelle song has to do with religion. They are not a christian band. This has been a debate for so long. I have been listening to Chvelle for years, and believe when I say I know so much about them it's scary. The song isn't political either. Chevelle does not talk about politics in their music. Pete writes to express HIS feelings and HIS internal suffering/struggles. He even said that with each album he becomes more and more honest with himself, meaning he becomes more aware of his emotions and how to get them down on paper.
Anyways.
Bend The Bracket.
So the water's thickening
His collar's pulled up, begin to be aware
It's on, that he needs to focus
Beyond that man, he brings us a world of pain
This means that he is treading water, he is at a struggle with himself and the people around him, sort of trying to be like them, and he is beginning to be aware of his foolish actions.
The war is on, too weak to move
Call it off, sorry refused
He is at a war with himself now. I think he is tyong to find out who he is and what he is all about.
So we bend the bracket
Shove it down, anything to make it fit
It's on, and being foolish won't cover up
Exposing them as fakes
A bracket is supposed to support things. And now the[his] bracket is bending, and he is no longer able to struggle with himself. He is being foolish, acting like everyone around him, which is exposing him as a fake.
So boredom captured another fool
Shredding him to bits, it's on
And the more we tense up, avoiding pain
You'll never learn a thing
Once again, he boredome of life and repetition has caught him. It is shredding him to bits, resulting in a struggle with himself. He is never going to learn anything because he tries to avoid all the pain, and ignores it.
