Ok..I'm going to try to break this down the best i can....at the first of it he is definatly taking a shot at emo's ''Yeah I get it you're an outcast Always under attack Always coming in last Bringing up the past "...that is him being sarcastic talking about emo's and how they act...

then he expresses how he feels about it "No one owes you anything I think you need a shotgun blast A kick in the ass So paranoid Watch your back!" ..this is him saying how he feels that they need to wake up to reality...

In the chorus...."I created the sound of madness Wrote the book on pain Somehow I'm still here to explain That the darkest hour never comes in the night" this is him saying "been there done that" and he's still here so theres no use to complain about it....

In the last part of the chorus "That the darkest hour never comes in the night You can sleep with a gun But when you gonna wake up and fight For yourself" this is him talking about how that there looking for a reason to feel down in darkness and he's saying that instead of looking for a reason to be down when are they going to wake up and actualy do something instead of complaining about it....

he takes one more shot at an emo's personality in this section "You think that by crying to me Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe You've been affected by a social disease Well then take your medicine " In this he is saying that just because they go around crying and complaining all the time he is still not going to feel sorry for the emo's and that they need to just suck it up like every body else "take their medicine"....
