I've always thought this song was about self-secrets being kept, the guilt these secrets are giving, and the paranoia that comes with it. Mainly guilt and Paranoia. In the lines involving teeth, I see it as a reference to "Keeping secrets/lying is like pulling teeth" Some of the lines, like "Now they're finally here and you know what they're looking for; with they're empty grins they proceed in taking what you owe" Suggest paranoia. Then there's lines like the first two and all the lines of the second {Or third???} verse that suggest guilt, biggest example to me being "Crawl to the mirror and see what you've become; a grim reflection of all the things that you have done."
