This song makes me think about running away from your problems via substance abuse, I use alcohol as an example.
"If there was a single day I could live...
A single breath I could take
I'd trade all the others away."
My interpretation of this line, If there was a day he could live without the burden of drowning his mistakes away with alcohol, he would trade all the moments he was numb away for the freedom of his substance abuse.
"The blood's on the wall, so you'd might as well just admit it
And bleach out the stains, commit to forgetting it.
You're better off empty and blank, than left with a single pathetic trace of this
Smother another failure, lay this to rest.
Console yourself, you're better alone
Destroy yourself, see who gives a fuck
Absorb yourself, you're better alone
Destroy yourself."
I imagine someone close to them or maybe a negative view upon himself talking about this, telling them just go numb yourself and not face any wrongs that you've done, commit to forgetting it. smother another failure the way you do best, destroy yourself cause no one cares.
"I'll chain you to the truth, for the truth shall set you free
I'll turn the screws of vengeance and bury you with honesty
I'll make all your dreams come to life, then slay them as quickly as they came
Smother another failure, lay this to rest."
If they face the truth then they would be much better off, but facing the truth isnt always easy, in the end you will be stronger but as soon as you take another drink it will continue to destroy you.
The rest of the lyrics are repeated, but basically thats the way I perceive this song.
