Take These Thoughts Lyrics

I think this song may be about depression. All he wants is to be happy and he compares himself to other people who lead happy lives and enjoy themselves, but he craves happiness and he's jealous of what others have that he doesn't.

"take these thoughts" may represent how he should take his depressing thoughts and store them away, to try and become a happier person.

And I think the ending means that if his depressing thoughts come back then "burn the whole place down" may symbolize suicide.
