That line about "call the police and call the press..." really speaks to me. I started cutting in college, awhile before anyone was talked much about it. And that's exactly how I felt: I need help!!! And, why don't people know about this? People should know about it! Except I'll die if anyone I know finds out. That line just sums it all up perfectly.
I agree with the majority here that this song is about depression (any alcohol involved might be self-medicating the depression, but I don't think anything in the lyrics really indicates alcoholism), but I don't think it's really about suicide. To me it's more just a sense that something needs to change, NOW.
