I take this song to be both metaphorical and completely literal. My mind runs constantly, and I am completely unable to shut it off, ever. Incessant thoughts become distractions; they keep me awake at night... It literally feels like there's a party going on in my skull, that will never stop until I'm dead. But, as the third stanza mentions, none of the thoughts are as good as might be hoped.
