This song refers to Gary's younger years when he got drunk and did stupid, out of character things. He also writes about these expereinces in 'Brave', where he describes falling down the stairs of the art school and passing out. I believe thats what
"But here's a helping hand
A voice that's far too close
And I am up and on my broken limbs"
refers to.
I'll let Gary himself explain the song title:
"Very scary times. That song is about my mid-twenties, when I definitely had a disaster button. It was very easily pushed and all around me turned to calamity very fast. It's me looking back on a few specific incidents where I could have handled myself a little better."
