For me this song is about suicide/depression/addiction. I personally have spent years trying to break free from self harm and depression. I first heard this song while I had just gotten clean and it really spoke to my addictions.
Will somebody believe this is suicide?
Am I the only one that thinks that
You should stay alive?
I became the shame that you backed
Up on the ropes to yourself and hide.
And so I scream, "mayday I'm in trouble,
send somebody on the double."
Scratching at the floor inside my mind.
As a person that was suicidal this stanza was very chilling. Some of these lines have been said to me in an effort for other people to help me.
I never meant to hurt nobody.
I never meant to hurt you.
No, no, no. No, yeah.
I only meant to do this to myself,
To myself, to myself...
This shows that the only person they were trying to hurt was themselves. Very rarely do addicts do it to hurt others.
What I love the most about music is that its all open to interpretation. While for me this song is clearly about addiction, others may see it differently and I love that.
