Band stated in interview that each song is about a different comic book character(s), but that the lyrics are also written vaguely enough to be relateable.
Characters: At first I was sure that this was Two-face (particularly due to "choosing victims most carefully," as with his coin. But then as I was typing I noticed the alternating of capitalizing "Carnage," (these lyrics are straight from the CD booklet) which made me consider it was the villain of the same name from Spiderman. Really I think either fits.
General message: Contemplating madness, schizophrenia, becoming complete through accepting our darker thoughts and inclinations.
