I wasn't previously familiar with the word "Nexus," but after some google searching, it seems it's also linked with travel? So, "woke up 24 in Texas, breaking a sweat to expand my Nexus" could be, you know, he's in Texas sweating in the heat, just to say he's been there.
In general, to me, the song is about getting older and feeling like you're not getting anywhere in your life, and feeling like everyone else thinks you're not getting anywhere, either. That's part of it, at least. And then there's the drug/alcohol references in things "not washing out."
The line, "...making excuses to cope so liberally." I sort of hear "coat" in stead of "cope." Which could tie back to the drugs/alcohol references in "getting clean."
I just love how this band is so clever.
"But the problem with change is it's hard

"Cope" ties back with the drug/alcohol reference, too... As in, you use them to "cope" with your problems, but you used them "so liberally."
