Almost every response said that it was about suicide. I really disagree, and find it very stereotyping of people to think that all metal songs are about suicide.

This song to me, is about awakening the self with a kind of painful honesty, and rising above a hypocritical society of denial. It isn't about dying at all, it's about living, awake and aware, in a world of people who are dead inside, mere robots fulfilling a routine of consumption and production.

@doktorj this is kinda what I thought too
