I feel this song is about witnessing a friend become a criminal or drug addicted that is being punished for a crime and looking at the system that created the problem in the first place, the environment that created the criminal. Then he starts to wonder if he's a better person because he's not a criminal or a drug addict. A better person wouldn't had became a drug addicted in the first place, right? But that person grew up with him and experienced the same things as he did but insist that that person is nothing like him when we are all humans in the first place.
In this case I'll use a drug addict. He has been punished for stealing something to pay for his addiction:
"Fear, it's all the same. Should I evolve to tend to these sites"
I Should I judge him like everyone else without question?
"Said out loud then said again, If fate's so wrong. You'll start to feel lightheaded"
He knew it was a crime, so he should go to jail. No one told him to do drugs in the first place, right? But will jail rehabilitate him?
"By my admission, nothing grows. Just a longer list of unsorted laws"
I mean, this doesn't change him from being a drug addict, does it? Now there's just new laws to punish the addict worse the next time.
"So why then has all my life made no sound? And are your eyes Closing even now? My life made no sound. I fear your eyes closing..."
So why haven't I ever said anything. You're giving up hope, aren't you? I never said said how I feel and you are giving up.
"Revolting man, this sacred chain, brought down to trial."
He's going to trial for the crime.
"No better man could fail the way, You needed all."
A better person wouldn't had became in addict in the first place, right?
"Keep close the vein of empty thoughts"
Back to the same excuses for hating him because he's a criminal.
"The finest river, the ravens tend. All along insisting We're worlds away"
You have to be different than me. I'm not a drug addict. Even though we both experienced the same things as me.
"Behold the lost, Behold a Band-Aid!"
Look at this system that doesn't rehabilitate anyone!
"These shameful metaphors, fought it through the teeth, Biting at your heels, Fought it cheek to cheek."
The shameful reasons I use not to share my opinion on this situation. I'm fighting saying it even though it's bothering me and everyone is thinking it.
I donno, just something I can see someone with a friend writhing if they use to judge that person too without questioning the situation then finding out that that person is the same as them and wondering if anyone actually cares to try to rehabilitate him with they system we currently use.
