I think the songs about waking up and getting over a funk.

"After midnight's glow and morning's gloom has settled in its self-inflicted sense of self-loathing. Waking up from the longest dream where we're all running away, running away, it's a sobering experience." Clearly a metaphor to the songs meaning. After a long rough night, after a bad experience morning is coming and its comforting to us.

"Still sinking, still spinning still hanging by a thread. I've been thinking I'll stop wasting the days away and make life worth living." The songs actual meaning I believe. It says "Im still hurting, but Im gonna chin up and get over it because I still have a life to live."

"Controlling these demons and stopping sirens from screaming. Lapsing in and out of this great escape, a love-hate relationship." I think this part of the song refers to a sort of story on the album. I think this is the 3rd part of "With a thousand words to say but one" and "sound the surrender"

"We're all stuck in our ways and as we drown everyday we revel in our self-indulgence and wonder why we feel trapped in our bodies, in our rooms, and in our cities, with our words." We need to break the cycle of our self-destruction. We're all stuck in doing so and dont realize it but we wonder why we feel so trapped even though the answers right in front of out faces.
