My interpretation: A nostalgic look at the past; maybe looking at opportunities that were never seized when they should have been, and realizing how everything you've done has led to exactly where you are right now; leaving you to question if you're OK with everything that has led up to this point. The screaming heard in the background possibly represents the frustration accompanied with this revelation?
The song also contains an Alternative (Somewhat) Acoustic reprise of the track "Right Before My Eyes" (formerly known as "Timber Me Shivers")
Timber shakes
These trails they are derailed
Phony false and frail
An empty ocean
Lost our way with no direction home
Golden needles names we take in vein
Find it harder to remain
Nothing sacred
Still waiting on that explanation
Right before my eyes
I saw the whole world lose control
The whole world lost control
Before my eyes, uh huh
I fell through the floor
I couldn't take it anymore
I can't take this anymore
It breaks my mind, uh huh
Hold her dirty hands over the flames
Getting pleasure from the pain
Softly screaming
The pistol that she raised has spoken
Golden needles names we take in vein
Find it harder to remain
Nothing sacred
Still waiting on that explanation
Right before my eyes
I saw the whole world lose control
The whole world lost control
Before my eyes, uh huh
I fell through the floor
I couldn't take it anymore
I can't take this anymore
It breaks my mind, uh huh
Everything I thought I knew fell to the side
Time went on and on
Can't see past my own eyes
Past my eyes
Past my eyes
Past my eyes
Right before my eyes
I saw the whole world lose control
The whole world lost control
Before my eyes, uh huh
I fell through the floor
I couldn't take it anymore
I can't take this anymore
It breaks my mind, uh huh
A stunningly flawless analysis. Excellently done. As for Right Before My Eyes, I believe the song is a sort of step back from it all, realizing how small a single human life is, and breaking down with fear about it. It is not the world that loses control, but the viewer. He sees how massive it is all around him, and loses his grasp on it, the mass of self importance burns deep within him. The stress and fear, even in a short burst, is too much for him.
