i think this song is about this song is about trying to achive the american dream. what convinced me is the line "I've been waking all my life to become what I'm going to be" he means he has been trying to achive the american dream, but no matter how hard he tries, he is going nowhere. after a while, he starts feeling hopeless "day out day in, recycle bins" and starts to not care "i can burn all i earn on some weakness or whim" he says "i'm americancer" because the same thing is happening to people all across the country and its making things worse. finally, he realizes whats happening "i call time out" and in the third verse, i think he just gives in to the routine even though he hates it and it makes him sick. kick ass song, it really got me into the matches. i wish i could see them wtih +44
