I wouldn't call this as straight forward as you claim. The Eternal Return is a CD that is heavily influenced by the writings of Nietzsche and here this song is about overcoming religious confinement of the self.

"Self-made misery" describes the punishment or concept of sin that people inflict upon themselves even though it's not real. The blasphemy is that in doing so people are trying to circumvent the harsh realities of life rather than embrace them.

The whole first verse is in regards to separating the body from the soul even though the soul is inherently a part of the body if it exists and diving the world into "perceived appearances" and "eternal 'truths.'"
One only becomes mended when they realize that life is only the senses and rather than trying to dull them with religion and the quest for eternal truths, we need to take life for what it is and learn to breathe as we move forward, transcended from this ascetic persona.
Again, another straight-forward song from their newest album.
It talks about how most of us walk around without any sort of spiritual or transcendental attitudes.
"It's a self made misery It's a blatant blasphemy"
"but all we have is sedation that numbs all our senses"
However, right after, he tells us how we can fix this problem:
"but all we need is a little transcendence to mend us"
Finally, at (to me) the best part of the song, he is finally 'mended.'
"I wanna peel back this layer reveal my new skin to the open air I feel a cleansing wash over me and I'm finally able to breathe"
