personally i think this song is about the journey to enlightenment.
fundamental boundaries = the confines of our mind. the things we've learned along the way throughout life.
the people that reach enlightenment pretty much leave their bodies and once they come back to their body they've been strengthened by what they've experienced.
the chorus is talking about how numb and lifeless it may seem to be in your body, that until you reach enlightenment you do not control your destiny.
Here you'll stay
Where lies are spread wide open
And ties are not so strong
That place you'll never find me
I've already gone
the first line says most people will be in this body form for their whole life.
there are lies all over the place, many that you cannot understand until you've reached this point.
the world is not as snug as most people may think, one slip and its game over.
and of course he doesn't like being in this world so he escapes somehow through what hes learned from enlightenment.
hes already there.
now the last part.
this part is the key, it seems hes saying that thinking is what made him become more aware of everything which some people might not like, cause you see things that you were not trained (by society) to see.
then he says its my own worst enemy then he turns around and says "but it will never own me" which is absolutely the key to enlightenment. thoughts cannot, most of the time, lead to enlightenment. so thinking probably made him feel like shit when he experienced this stuff.
"who am i kidding anyway?" doesn't even know why hes explaining this stuff. mostly because there aren't a lot of people who know about enlightenment.
i can see the idea that this is about a relationship and most likely it is. i just think that people tend to relate to songs differently based on what has happened so far in their life. and i for one have experienced most of what i just said, which is the only reason it came to mind. that's enough out of me :x
