"Funny, how you turned red
When I first said
Let's join the dead"
Turning "red' clearly means bleeding. Him suggesting they die, might be him having suicidal thoughts, but he feels so out of himself that he feels like he's talking to a different person. So he might be referencing dissociation.
"Funny, I was driving by
Feeling really high
It made me cry"
He's having trouble coping with life. Even drugs aren't helping him.
"Funny, there were swastikas
On Santa Monica
Where they were scarred"
Can't really get the meaning out of this line.
"Funny, that no one said
that you were dead
and painted red"
Either he's talking about how no one would care if he died, or he wouldn't care himself if he died.
"Where do you go when you fall on your face?
It's a place that you never should know
Is there a reason why people should change
And they changin' the way that they go"
This is where the idea of this song being about suicide becomes very prominent. He's talking about where do you go when you've hit rock bottom. He's saying how horrible it is. How it changes you every step of the way.
"If I was there with you for long
Would you be singing me this song?
I'm holding on..."
He might be saying that music is the only thing keeping him alive. That it's all he has left. It's the only thing he has to hold on to.
@Somefag If that helps to know - When he played it live once Daron said it reminded him of his two cousins who were like a brother and sister to him, and he even cried while playing the song.

I'm pretty sure this song is about suicide.
