is an often used description for depression.
"Corporate America wakes" --> one of the main reasons for the high number of depressed is the performance culture: work and work and spend.
"Coffee republic in case"--> How we need to pull ourselves through the days.
"We open the latch on the gate
Of the hole that we call our home" --> We're so materialistic, but in the end it means nothing.
"Protect me from what I want,
Protect me protect me" ---> as a fellow depressed person I know that we often 'seek' to stay depressed, because it's the only thing that we're sure of. Our routine behaviour keeps us in the depression e.i. depressing music, sitting alone at home and wasting our days... Psychiatrists will confirm this.
"Maybe we're victims of fate
Remember when we'd celebrate
We'd drink and get high until late
And now we're all alone
Wedding bells ain't gonna chime
With both of us guilty of crime
And both of us sentenced to time
And now we're all alone" --> These last two verses are the parts where a depressed person feels sorry for himself and has absolutely no faith that things will turn out alright, like they used to be. The 'wedding bells' and 'committed crime' are dysfemisms of the things the depressed person did wrong. Note: people who are depressed tend to think less of themselves and blow up every little mistake they've made to gargantic proportions, they feel like they don't deserve to be happy.

I can't believe how this song is apparently so difficult to interpretate. isn't it obvious that it's about depression??

@bakkermaarten007 sure it's about depression. and actually the lines "protect me from I want" sound like death wish
