I believe it's about amphetamines and keeping it a secret, even from your friends. Here's why:
when i came down the dawn poured into me = up all night and coming down when the sun came up
my fists kept trembling with these salty wounds = amphetamines are a mix of salts and make you jittery
my stolen gold inside the emperors tomb = the drug is like gold to him
now painting rainbows on my ugly face = get creative but might not do rational things
i built this cardboard neighborhood's disgrace ----> (see rest of my interpretation)
but i ascend and serve my feverish need = he gets high and scratches the itch
within the confines of such chemistry = drugs are chemicals
its the way i see
everything i need
its no way to be = it's a way of life, but it's not pretty
let this be our little secret
no one needs to know were feeling
higher and higher and higher = no one really knows he's high but himself or the person he's high with
but i feel alive and i feel it in me
up and up i keep on climbing
higher and higher and higher = he's getting higher and feels the drug's euphoria
my face blew up at such a casual sight = he spotted a cop, but since he's high it's startling
the smattered colors of ecstatic fright = cop lights behind him are scary, but the high intensifies
the rush above me to oblivion = the rush he gets is so intense
outlining wet sidewalks in halogen = car headlights bulbs are halogen, and it's lighting up the sidewalks
oh have you ever felt so strong = the drug makes you feel invincible
how come it takes some people so damn long = his high has a quick onset
he tried to squeeze the lemon juice to rain
the citrus drawing out the seasons stains = cop tried to get him to admit he's high
watch the basin drain = he's caught
as your life lines wane = there's only a few people to reach out to
and you cant explain = he can't explain why he wanted to do the drug to begin with
as your friends complain = they are pissed he was driving high and didnt tell them
youve caused all this pain
and you proudly shame
your whole families name = his arrest or penalty is public
mother i can tell what youve been thinking
staring at the stars on your ceiling
thinking once there was a power that you were wielding = thought she had control over her son's actions
and now ive hit the mark = he finally got found out
staring at the dark = nowhere left to go
and i cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars = forgetting the past and ignoring people that hold it against him (scars might be literal if he's talking about injecting the drug)
This is just my perception. I don't know if these guys are into drugs or not.
This is my interpretation: I think he is talking about earth "earths voice"

when I came down the dawn poured into me <---- creation
I shook 'em up the walls came crumbling <----earthquakes and distruction
my thin skin trembling with these salty wounds <----the fiery surface
my stolen gold inside the emperor's tomb <--- not too sure

now painting rainbows on my ugly face <---- The earth still not formed the way of today
I built this cardboard neighborhood's disgrace <------not sure
but I ascend and serve my feverish need <----the perseverance of earth coming from a hostile enviornment to what it is today.
within the confines of such chemistry <---- the elements used to create this place
let this be our little secret <--- As far as we know no other being knows about us here on earth.
no one needs to know we're feeling <--- no one needs to know we can feel (earth having feelings as we are part of earth)
higher and higher and higher
higher and higher and higher
but I feel alive, oh, I feel it in me <--- the life on earth (living things and the life inside of earth)
up and up we keep on climbing <---- creating mountains
higher and higher and higher
higher and higher and higher
my face blew up at such a casual sight <---- could be another time of distruction
the smattered colors of ecstatic fright <---- given
the rush above me to oblivion <---- the speed of death from this distruction
outlining wet sidewalks in halogen <--- The group of halogens is the only periodic table group which contains elements in all three familiar states of matter at standard temperature and pressure
have you ever felt so goddamn strong? <---- the power of earth
how come it takes some people so damn long <---- people who fuck up the earth
he turned to squeeze the lemon juice to rain <--- not sure
the citrus drawing out the scene in stains
mother, I can tell what you've been thinking <--- mother earth
staring at the stars on your ceiling <--- the dying sun that will soon come
thinking once there was a power that you were wielding <--- overtaken by the cycle of the solar system.
but now I've hit the mark,
stabbing at the dark <--- no more sun to light earths skies
and I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars <---- not sure but could be that at this time of destruction human kind may be looking at a destroyed earth from another planet...
This is my thoughts but Im digging deep. I can see it being about drugs too but if I wrote it I would be speaking of earth. Enjoy>
you must not know anything about drugs if you think this song is about amphetamines. also, there is no reference to trouble with the cops in this song. if you knew anything about hallucinogens, it would be obvious to you that he's describing his trip. i've fucked with plenty of amphetamines, and i promise you it's nothing like this song.

So I'm sitting here on Adderall right now and listening to this song on repeat. To me, it DEFINITELY sounds likes an amphetamine drug-related song... more of my interpretation is posted separately.

"but i ascend and serve my feverish need,
within the confines of such chemistry" -I don't need to take Adderall, but it makes my manic Monday workload fly by. It changes my chemistry by producing more dopamine making me concentrate longer.

"let this be our little secret

higher and higher and higher" - No one really knows I'm taking it because Adderall already has a bad rap. And it definitely gives me a good buzz.
"but i feel alive and i feel it in me
up and up i keep on climbing
higher and higher and higher" - I'm accomplishing so much right now, I'm climbing higher and higher and higher on this corporate ladder.

I agree with everything, but i think its E and not meth. Great analysis though
