I think it is mainly talking about being oppressed, and lashing out to the oppressor.
"You taught us to claw, Put us through a speech, If I'm a red anchor,Then you're coming with me, And on the way down,We'll sleep with the fish, As we go into the blue, We can both reminisce"
This could reference the initial attack on the oppressor "When those sweet red hands start their whirlwinds
And you're the drain"
Think you're on the right track there. FTM often seems to have a lot of oppressive and semi-political undertones in their music. A few other things I noticed.

"When he dialed 911/ Busy signals sang familiar songs."
Could mean that when the oppressed struck back, the tyranny of the opressor made it so that no one helped him.

The chorus also seems to point a little towards some sort of politics. This "pretend machine," or system of order, that the opressor has made up, isn't perfect like he wants it to be. "You're inventing it all from thin air and close calls" could refer to propoganda, possibly. That's just my thoughts though, I could be completely wrong.
I look at the lyrics as referencing going to war (or supporting war) and causing things on the homefront to fall to waste. "Hand to heart" (national anthem/patriotism) and hands to head (either saluting or in exasperation).

And there comes a time when the people can only take so much from its leaders, and they either get voted out of office or a revolution will arise. ("And you better hide Or learn how to climb Cause you're coming with me")

I love this song, the intense beats pumps me up.

@bbrocker That would make sense. Recently found out his wife was abusive towards him and publicly stated she was the victim.
