This song has lots of meanings, but I think the two that fits best are this: Political: a CIA's drone pilot who has been trained to strike from a chair and detach from his/her emotions (kill by remote control... taught me to lie without a trace and to kill with no remorse) then realises the horrible things done and discovered he/she is as death as the CIA. Emotional: a guy has a crush on a girl with several problems, tries to help her and know more about her and her troubles (unleash a million drones) but she has given up (dead inside) and he becomes obsessed with saving her from herself (you like to give an inch while I'm giving infinity... Only you can stop the pain) as she considered suicide (you're free to touch the sky while I'm crushed and pulverised). He realises that he can't help her as she needs professional help and he also surrender (because you need control now I'm the one who's letting go... I gave you everything I can't give you anymore now I've become just like you) so he now detach from his feelings and becomes kind of psychopathic in order to avoid depression (I'll control and hypnotize you've taught me to lie without a trace and to kill with no remorse on the outside i'm the greatest guy now I'm dead inside!)
