I think this song is about the band getting sucked into the record company's lies.
"Out back a monster wears a cloak of Persian leather"
could mean a wealthy person such as a record co. executive...
"Behind the TV screen
I've fallen to my knees"
this means music videos and how he is sad by them...
"I said you got me where you want me again
And I can’t turn away
I'm hanging by thread and I'm feelin’ like a fool
I'm stuck here in-between
The shadows of my yesterday"
Again, the record co. has him where they want him and if he turns away he'll be without money so he feels selfish now...the shadows of my yesterday could mean what he used to believe in and what reality has in store for him now...
Blanket of silence
Makes me want to sink my teeth in deep
"Burn all the evidence
A fabricated disbelief
Pull back the curtains
Took a look into your eyes
My tongue has now become
A platform for your lies"
He's finally fed up with all he's done for them now and is ready to tear up everything they have made him...he wants to see them face-to-face and tell them that they are a bunch of liars and he is forced to speak for them in his songs
