Also should have said song is clearly about getting over depression.

First verse characterises this. I'm in a good mood today, I'm glad it's not yesterday (the past has gone)

Vereses are pretty self explanatory, so is the chorus really.

When the world stops making sense Just taking what you can get - Fed up of what he's given When the people on the street Start looking like silhouettes - Depressed/Looking down at his feet, silhouettes - shadows When the words just sound like noise - Constant drone of every day life I need a new alphabet - Reinvent himself When the world stops making sense - Repeated meaning of previous two. I make a new alphabet
