LOL i must be twisted, for sure i am. I know 100% that everyone will think i over analysed the song, however i think most music is ambiguous, left up to our interpretation, and those with more bizarre ideas of what the songs mean just indicates their fantasies go just as deep... and maybe for some helps reveal their sick side.
When i heard this song straight away i thought it was referring to a psychopath (dont confuse with a serial killer)... its like this guy in the song wakes up and he hears voices. Strange like its almost like he knows theres a darker side to him and it over powers him.
I woke up today
to find myself in the other place
with a trail of my footprints
from where I ran away
(he woke up in the darker side and has to trail hes way back to hes normal life... if you want to be a little more twisted about this i pictured him murdering someone in fit of sadistic rage and when he snapped out of it he realised what he did)
it seems everything I've heard
just might be true
and you know me
(well you think you do)
( i think hes referring to hes mind, thoughts i should say).
sometimes, I have everything-
yet I wish I felt something
(he has all the good things in life, think john wayne gacy and BTK, active community members but they were missing something, they felt nothing, emptiness... i would imagine you need to be empty to do these sick things).
and in a dream I'm a different me
with a perfect you
we fit perfectly
and for once in my life I feel complete-
and I still want to ruin it
( it gets more twisted here, hes speaking about hes double life, hes other personality, we cant reify personality so think of it purely as thought processes, but basically when he fantasises hes thinking of him just as an evil person (no good side) to accomodate for hes equally sick mind, and thus they fit perfectly so hes doesnt have this feeling of emptiness.
afraid to look
as clear as day
this plan has long been underway
hear them call
I cannot stay
the voice inviting me away
(basically voices are calling him away, its not literal voices unless he experiences psychosis but basically hes evil thoughts take over).
do you know how far this has gone?
just how damaged have I become?
when I think I can overcome
it runs even deeper
everything that matters is gone
all the hands of hope have withdrawn
could you try to help me hang on?
it runs...
(great way to explain that he knows the sickness is there, it runs deep, the roots so grown in that he cant fight it, he cant hope he just goes along with it......
And there you have it my twisted dissection of the song lol
