Sub-Culture

I agree with dxmkrew, you guys are trying too hard, but my interpretation is a little different.

I think the song is about some guy screwing up a relationship, probably through infidelity:

"I like walking in the park When it gets late at night I move round in the dark And leave when it gets light"

He's talking about sneaking around.

"I sit around by day Tied up in chains so tight These crazy words of mine So wrong they could be right"

This the guilt of having been unfaithful.

"What do I get out of this I always try, I always miss"

He asks himself what he gets from being in a relationship. He's tried to be faithful in previous relationships, but he's was unfaithful in those as well.

"One of these days you'll go back to your home You won't even notice that you are alone One of these days when you sit by yourself You'll realise you can't shaft without someone else In the end you will submit It's got to hurt you a little bit"

Basically, this is his depression creeping out. He's telling himself that he's destined to be alone, and maybe he should hurt himself?

"I like talking in my sleep When people work so hard They need what they can keep A choice that leaves them scarred A view without a room Unveils the truth so soon"

I think he's trying to say that if people who work hard to save an unhealthy relationship, that they're going to be hurt in the end. Because once the romance is gone, you can see all the things you didn't want to see because you were in love. I say this because to me, "a view without a room," is some reference to E.M. Foster's book "A Room with a View," where he's saying the romance is gone.

"And when the sun goes down You've lost what you had found"

There are a lot of ways this can be interpreted. It could be that once you can see the truth, things can't go back to the way they were before. I can also see how he could be saying that when night comes, he knows he's going to go out and be unfaithful again.
