I find this song to be a cry for help from the protagonist, and for once, it is a physical calling. Perhaps he has called his ex who left him in Piggy, or an old friend, or he is trying to get therapy. He describes how he feels, what Mr. Self-Destruct/the Ruiner/the voice has turned him into. Unfortunately enough, the combination of his own selfishness and Mr. Self-Destruct's influences cause him to lash out when the person on the receiving end of his pleas tries to help (don't tell me that you care; don't you tell me how I feel). Thus, he only succeeds in going further down the spiral, as he only isolates himself more by driving off other people, which highly benefits the Ruiner. Finally, in the last part of the song, he expresses his discontent for his life at an all-time high. His mental stability has gone to hell, his life is boring, he does not want this, but he's only making himself sink faster.
