This song, at least in my interpretation, is about laying an old relationship to rest. I'm going to explain what everything means:
If there was a single day I could live...
A single breath I could take
I'd trade all the others away.
Interpretation:
"I would rather live one day happy than a lifetime lonely"
The blood's on the wall, so you'd might as well just admit it
And bleach out the stains, commit to forgetting it.
You're better off empty and blank, than left with a single pathetic trace of this
Interpretation:
"What's done is done. It's already happened, so stop holding on."
Smother another failure, lay this to rest.
Console yourself, you're better alone
Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck
Absorb yourself, you're better alone
Destroy yourself.
Interpretation:
"Lay the past to rest. Forget it and move on."
"Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck" applies to the thoughts of suicide. You want to just destroy yourself because you're tired of the loneliness. An ultimate expression of emotion.
I'll chain you to the truth, for the truth shall set you free
I'll turn the screws of vengeance and bury you with honesty
I'll make all your dreams come to life, then slay them as quickly as they came
Interpretation:
"You don't know the truth, but if I had a chance I would prove you wrong."
The last line is a sarcastic way of expression of what happened. The person brought you to life with love, and then hurt you so quickly. You can't understand why somebody could be the one to make you so happy, but then tear you apart.
This song, at least my interpretation of it, reminds me exactly of my ex and I. She was everything I was looking for, and things were perfect. But I said some things I didn't mean, but she believes they were true. She won't give me a chance to explain the truth. I know she could be happy with me, but I'm done trying. I'll lay it to rest.
