You really have to be a musician or poetic to understand this song. It is written by Lajon to the rest of the band. It is a gift to them in all ways.

Lajon is "Standing here with all these familiar faces" being the band. He's shutting everyone out from the world they created, that means everyone, fans, friends, family. All he's thinking about is writting the next best song with his buddies. Instead of becomming the sick and twisted, harming people, doing what sick people to do cope with their emotions, he will "lose myself in song again." Meaning forget the world, just write the song with the band in this euphoric expirience and "shut out the world we created." Once again, you need to really be in a band to understand that. When you write a song no one in the world matters but you, and whoever your playing with. "Another skeleton song stuck in my head all night". Meaning after the day's break, the song the band is writting is stuck in his head the rest of the night, because he feels so passionate about it. But it isnt nearly complete, just a verse or a chorus is written, or an idea. Hence "skeleton song." For you SAT wizzes, "a frame is to a house, as a frame is to a..." Its the beginnings of a song. But it means alot to him. Writting the song with the closest people in his life being the band, and everyone else doesn't matter while the band is writting. Not sure if i mentioned it, but once again, you really need to be in a band to understand this song.
