Ohkay, so when i first listened to this song i had absolutely no clue what it meant. but after a while i sort of came up with 3 conclusions. 1) Since it's Matt Bellamy we're talking about here the lines "because their language confuses like computers refuse to understand how i'm feeling today" really stuck out to me. I think it's about another theory how computers are dominating our minds and we can barely understand our own thoughts (in this case our languages) and the protagonist in the song doesn't want someone else [a computer]doing the thinking for him. That's one reason why it's called map of you head; because the computers are filing all of their thoughts into the most simplistic forms so that anyone can understand them... anyone not human.
2) as many people say it could be about a hangover, "the liquid control" and "someone screaming like their world might explode" probably means drinking some hard stuff one night, waking up to a phone call (wearing just socks and a phone] and someone is talking to you but it only comes out in screams for you are drunk.
3) my last interpretation is it's about sort of a one-night-stand relationship that's very complicated and sort of wrong. the chorus could be about how the protagonist just wants to have the "love" part of the relationship and doesn't care what the persons personality is like [i don't need another map of your head] it also ties into my first meaning about how computers don't understand, he could be referring to himself as a computer who just wants a person to be theirs.
