"Before we let euphoria Convince us we are free Remind us how we used to feel Before when life was real"

I believe this is the key part of the song because of the change in the music itself.

The entire song is about freedom, but also choosing slavery - Not wanting truth.

"When things that were once beautiful are now glad" - Happiness isn't the same thing as beauty, that sometimes the regular, or even the ugly, leads us to happiness.

"In truth there is no better place to be Than falling out of darkness still to see" - There's no better place to be then when first coming to see truth, that truth itself when it's first illuminated is the brightest.

"And when I feel like I can feel once again Let me stay awhile Soak it in awhile"

I think this part is important because it's talking about wanting to cling to normality, which isn't always the same thing as truth.
