neuroticTOTHAbone: I think you're right, in a sense. But personally, I see this as more about addiction to prescription drugs, an easy thing to fall into these days. Lines like "So send me to the pharmacy/ So I can lose my memory" and "I think they found another cure/ For broken hearts and feeling insecure" seem to be pretty blatant references to the dangers of prescription drugs to me. "So what ails you is what impales you/ I feel like I've been crucified to be satisfied" <--- Your illness becomes an excuse to get more drugs, it pins you down and gets you addicted.
Now, I think it also has a double meaning. Be yourself instead of succumbing to what everyone else things you should be; dealing with your pain instead if numbing it.
Over all a pretty killer song, probably one of my favorites so far.
