I think the whole song is about the Shakespeare play Hamlet as the excerpt is from Scene II when Polonius asks Hamlet what he is reading and he says "words words words".
"I've been slowing my breath" relates to the motif of Hamlet's inability to act.
"Are you thawing out my head?" relates to two lines in Hamlet's famous motif "O, that this too too solid flesh would melt
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!"
"I'm on a mission to escape from what my life has been without you." Hamlet missed his father.
"I've been treading on ghosts" Hamlet listened to the Ghosts orders to kill Claudius.
"I want you to get out..." King Hamlet is trapped in a ghost state to roam the kingdom, because he couldn't confess his sins.
Now why may Failure write a song about Hamlet? I think it has more of a suicidal meaning behind it because Hamlet had a strong suicidal meaning or I think it maybe is to avenge one of their fathers.
