Definitely heard some Tool influence here! Absolutely love this song. The only part I find a little iffy is the very last line, I dont think it really fits with the song musically. But still, I cant wait for the album to be released! Anyways, heres what I think the song meangs:
With the first part, I think he is saying that he feels like something/someone has taken his freedom from him ("You shut my mind / But oh well / Trapped and choked / Erased my trail") and it worries/frustrates him ("Vexation / Internal void") to the point where he doesnt see any hope (his dreams getting "darker and darker"
With the chorus, I think he is saying whatever/whoever is holding him back is keeping him from doing anything with his life ("This life before me / Its blood runs so still"). The call of the bird could be referring to crows, which are usually used to symbolize death, and their song which "makes the hours go" could be him waiting for death, because he has no hope left.
"The change inactive" could mean that no change has happened, and he doesnt think any change will occur. "Dim my lights /One by one / The sordid pale / Broken run" could be his hope (lights) being crushed (dimmed) over time, until there isnt much hope left and his attempts at running from whatever did this to him are unsuccessful.
"Confined in escape / On burnt grass / Below the crest / Lier in wait for the ending" This could be how he tries to escape, but like the lines before he is unsuccessful, so he lays in wait for his demise. And the lines repeated afterwards seem to corroborate this.
Im not sure if Im completely right, but thats what I get from the lyrics
