Nobody's mentioned the term "punch drunk" as meaning down or depressed from repeated blows... sorta like nothing's gone ur way lately and ur in a type of dazed depression as a result. In this regard the song reminds me more of Aqueous Transmission as Brandon seems to just be drifting about trying to get back where he belongs... sorta like "floating down a river named emotion" and trying to "make it back to shore or drift into the unknown." But hey, it depends on how u listen to Aqueous Trans... I like the Deep Inside connection, too, though. Definitely an awesome song and a shame it wasn't put on the US/UK version of Light Grenades (which is still kickass)...
