Cover art for Breathe Underwater lyrics by Emanuel

I think this song is about Matt useing drugs to escape his life and his problems..

"look in the mirror, what are you searching for? to dissappear or, accelerate... our lives to their ends."

Eventually he realizes that he can no longer use drugs as an excuse and he comes to terms that he needs to face his problems and come to a decision about what to do..

"i came to and found myself behind the wheel. pilot and artifical flight."

The last line probably means he can see what happening around him but is still unable to do anything about it, or rather that he doesnt want to change whats about to happen to his friends that ended up becoming back stabbers. He ends up crashing the car into the river and ever one but him dies.

He is happy with this and chants "stay a sleep" or stay dead in other words. He is so overwhelmed that there dead that he feels that "this is heaven" and is happy with the outcome.

"alone in her dark room"

'Her' is a reference to 'black' which may have been a nickname for a love interest of Matt's that probably the cause the whole back stabbing incident

"i slip through the open door. pull off my wet clothes, to climb inside..."

This part may mean that he changed not just his cloths but his out look and rekindled what they once had

"her life, is still warm"

Theres nothing as nice as some warm pie =)

"ill put you out of your cell and your misery." may be promise he makes to her. meaning he'll make her happy?

I dont know that was my take on it any way.
