Soooooooo yea. i think i undestand the song, let me explain:
The whole song is about his conscience, but he calls it his peer, because it seems to be a part of him and the two together make a decision.
I'd like to leave this
In my youth
(He would like to live his life like he was when he was young, when he didnt have a conscience. When you little you dont know right from wrong, you cant blame a 4 yr old for doing a bad thing, he knows no better)
Pick me up on your way
(here is interesting. He is saying that his conscience picks him up when he is older and leads him, as in when we get older we understand right from wrong and from that point on can NEVER really do bad things because we know its bad and we get that feeling that kills us when we do a bad deed and dont fix it. So our conscience in a way controls us, picks us up and takes us on ITS way.)
Send away virus
(also very interesting. Our conscience sends away viruses. that little nagging in the back of our head when we do bad is our conscience's firewall against bad deeds. Repeatedly making the wrong choice kills our conscience, some people kill innocent people and dont bat an eye, they have killed their conscience, so to keep this from happening, our conscience sends away viruses with this guilt.)
Drink sight is water
Drink sight is water
(ummmm idk)
Watch him sell mugs to bikers
To make a million dollars
Place you stamp here
Send out love letters
(tells of a man who is doing anything to get by like selling mugs to bikers, but most importantly, it is an honest living)
C'mon enough said
The skin on top his hands
Has dried to red
The words, want them touch them
The nerve, why are you here
(this is where it gets good. he is talking of a man who makes an honest living with manuel labor, his hands are red from hard work. cmon enough said is shutup conscience i hear your words, i wish i could feel you. the NERVE of our conscience to tell us we are doing the right thing when it is us, not our conscience that suffers. Hes hands are red in pain, not his conscience, yet its telling him hes doing the right thing? this is the intro to the angry part of the song.)
(right here it breaks, this is the point at which he is fed up with his conscience, his peer, so he gets angry. acoustic, sweet melody with smooth voice, then later edgy guitar riffs, drums, screeming)
Back off peer
I am on top of this
Back off peer
I am on top of this back off
I need to make decisions
And I want to leave yea back off
Banned
(BACK OFF CONSCIENCE. lol he is breaking down, im tired of my conscience, it is soo much easier to live life without one, but you force compassion on me, and because of that look where i am in life, and YOU have the nerve to stick around? im fed up. at this point he decides to push his conscience back, drop a hard, honest life, and live a life of ease by doing bad things and not being pestered)
So the song is about:
a story of a man fed up with busting his ass for others and getting nothing in return. he wants to be bad from now on but cant do it with his conscience controlling him.
or it could be about anyone really who decides its time for a little me time, tells their conscience to back off while they do a selfish deed and dont want the nagging feeling later.
