Though I never have seen it in today's context, I can agree very much to AKnightatPeace, nice interpretation!
Like most of Sybreed's songs, I associated it with a more or less remote future, where mankind is mostly dehumanized and has rare moments of feelings or awareness.
"Watch now, the sun is fading away
And still the skyline is glowing in bright white"
refers very well to the spread of artificial light making every daytime the same, people wouldn't even notice if the sun disappeared.
"Testing endurance to defy the low performance
We deny all body failure, aiming high
Our breath intensified"
pretty much the "support" or better overtake of technical things into peoples' bodies, making them more endurable and powerful.
The chorus could point that everyone is removable since evryone is the same anyways, plus you don't even know if you had a life due to your missing ability of feeling or being aware that you are living. Our life is a waste of time, we don't change anything in this tech-fullfilled world.
The clean vocals in the bridge part magically breaks that "doom" description, it shows one moment of awareness:
"We stop all motion for a while and bleed just to feel alive
Like a wave submerging us, we fall and shiver,
The welkin starts to ignite"
We must hurt ourselves to realize that we are still alive. we see that we are on a wave that determines our life, while the heaven we have once longed (like a goal to make the world better, through technology) is burning down, which makes us shiver.
"We love and hate on fast forward
The momentum is getting wrong"
This now again takes us back to the actual "party", our feelings can be skipped like on a tape, time doesn't matter anymore.
I really love that song, it's so powerful and not just pure brutality, but with deep sense behind it - which makes the aggression reasonable. And the clean parts...One Dream!
Anyways, thanks for the hint with today's party people, never thought in that direction...That really makes sense, too!
