For me this song is about someone who is disassociating from the world, they're having trouble coping mentally so they're just pushing away the emotions they don't want to deal with.

"Oh no, this isn't real" -- backing away from reality "Probably better not to try to wake up 'Cause it feeds it, yeah, keeps it alive" -- better to numb yourself than "wake up" it just makes the negative emotions stronger

Thanks for actually having something to say instead of another lyric correction! :D

I agree with your interpretation! I especially think "disassociating" is a fitting word. Mine takes it a little farther but that's because I tend to connect songs to personal issues, and just in general take things way too seriously haha xD
