How about it's about one band member knowing another band member struggles with depression, aka is described as "Crazy" and he uses all the stereotypes, all the stigma-inducing-crazymaking phrases that are out there to say, Hey - it's OK, cuz I'm crazy just like you.
Steven Page has been open about his experiences with depression. I don't know if other band members have been - but combined with alot of the other lyrics (as obvious as Brian Wilson that describes depression and bipolar disorder), it almost feels like an 'I'm ok, you're ok' from one band mate who might not have the degree of difficulty of another but nevertheless can empathize in a big way.
All those secret lyrics and gibberish? The illusion of mental illness, the inate wackiness and everyday-kinda of guys of the BNL. One guy has the language .... i.e. who use manic depressive anymore? Only those who don't know or ... (machiavellian chuckle ...) those whe try to rhyme!
Did I just make you say 'Underwear?" (Don't worry, it's a lyric from them ... I'm not quite that wacky. Yet.)
