I think this song is about the part of "the patients" life when he was a 'player' and had a string of meaningless relationships, and he fancied one girl, but she hates him because he was addicted to alcohol and drugs. he's trying to change, but it's too tempting and he keeps having drinks. I don't think it is about romeo and juliet specifically, the story of "romeo & juliet" just has some relevance to the story in this song, which i'll explain later. Oh and when he says "so why don't you blow me, a kiss before she goes" i'm pretty sure it just means literally blow him a kiss, not blow him...a kiss. the only reason he pauses is because it goes with the tune to the music, he does it all the way through...:)
"Well it rains and it pours when you're out on your own" he's saying he's miserable having a bunch of meaningless relationships - he's lonely.
"If I crash on the couch, can I sleep in my clothes" as appose to him sleeping in a bed and having to take off his clothes...for obvious reasons...XD he's saying he's tired of all the one night stands.
"Cause I spent the night dancing, I'm drunk I suppose" haha he's saying he's been drinking...obv XD
"If it looks like I'm laughing I'm really just asking to leave this alone" he's saying that when his friends or whatever talk to him about his unhealthy habits, he puts on a mask of happiness and laughs, but inside he's suffering but he doesn't want to talk about it.
"You're in time for the show" he's saying that the girl he fancies is in time to see the show of him getting drunk.
"You're the one that I need, I'm the one that you loath
You can watch me corrode like a beast in repose
Cause i love all the poison" he's saying that he likes her, but she doesn't like him because he 'loves all the poison' meaning all the drugs and alcohol and it's slowly destroying him.
"away with the boys in the band" he's saying he doesn't care what she thinks about him, even though he loves her, or he cant change so just play the music and let him get back to his dancing and alcohol.
"I've really been on a bender and it shows" he's saying that he's really taken a bad turn in trying to stop drinking and taking drugs, and it shows in his behavior and he's kind of become an asshole.
"So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes" he's saying that he's still being an ass and he wants one of his one night stands to blow him a kiss to try and make the girl he loves jealous before she leaves the nightclub.
"Give me a shot to remember
and you can take all the pain away from me" he's saying give he a really strong drink to take away all the pain of not being able to have the girl he loves.
"one kiss and i will surrender" he's saying if he has one drink, he'll give up trying to stop and 'surrender' to the temptations.
"the sharpest lives are deadliest to lead" sharpest meaning strongest meaning drinks. he's saying that people who drink alot lead the deadliest lives.
"a light to burn all the empires
so bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be" he's saying that he wants a drink so amazing it outshines the sun and 'burns all the empires'. he's also saying that the sun is ashamed to take away the night and stop the partying.
"in love with all of these vampires" he's saying that everyone there is vampires, in the sense that they stay up partying all night and sleep all day from hangovers, and he loves all of them.
"so you can leave like the sane abandoned me" he's saying that the girl he loves is going to leave, like his sanity, because he's so drunk and drugged that all thoughts of stopping have left him.
"There's a place in the dark where the animals go
You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow" he's saying that in the back, you can take off your mask and just be yourself. cannibal glow as in people that eat each-other, but in this sense i think that he's talking about everyone kissing touching each-other...
"Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands
Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, romeo" well if you know the story of "romeo & juliet" it is basically romeo's fault for juliet's death...he doesnt actually kill her but it is his fault... the patient is telling romeo to put down the knife (as in metaphorically he kills juliet), because juliet is in love with the partying, he's saying that the damage has already been done and romeo doesn't need to kill juliet because she's killing herself (lather the blood on you hands romeo) as in the bloods already there...if that makes sense...
this is just the impression i got from the song...it's probably wrong XD
