I've always thought this song was about the cycle of thoughts from regrets and depression, from living life as normal but then hitting a low point when thinking about the past. Like, most of the time I'm fine and normal, but sometimes I think about things from the past, things I don't like. I start to wonder, have things really gotten better? Am I really a better person now? Have I really moved on from my past?
"From now on I will behave
But in the back of my mind I will be enslaved"
Someone said it was about feeling enslaved to your own desires and vices even though you know they're bad and you want to change them. But I also think it's about that little nagging thought that you'll always be held back by these regrets, just a bit at least, no matter how much you've changed. In the back of your mind, you'll always know that's who you are and will spend the rest of your life pretending you're someone else but for no reward since you can't hide yourself from yourself.
