the bonus track bit is definitely about his mother. I think the first bit could be about the state of mind her death may have put him in. Maybe the personna is a counsellor talking to him? "Wounds take time to heal", "all I ask is for you to stick around", "explain your pain and sadness"- all quite reasonable and reassuring comments. And then we have the more serious, psychological elements.
I have an idea
About the voices i hear
They're audible to evreyone
Everyone but me
Turn it off
Obviously a contradiction, the voices he hears are audible to everyone but him. Either an expression of his insanity or maybe the fact that people are assuming that the negative symptoms he's displaying are ones of insanity. The voices (signs of insanity) are obvious to everyone but him. A stigma or an assumption that he's having a break down that is making it harder for him to deal with.
