It's about assisted suicide, but this time to get rid of MENTAL illness, I mean, the song mentioned a pile of different mental illnesses and references to mental health:
Men in cloaks: depression (as they seems like dementors)
Ghosts and shadows: hallucinations (maybe from schizophrenia, maybe from drugs withdrawal)
Eat my soul: Cottard syndrome (as he/she seems to be death in life)
Absent gods: psychosis ("if you talk to God you're religious, if he talks back you're psychotic")
Silent tyranny: paranoia (thinks he/she is being followed, the silent tyranny is the NWO representing the conspiracy theories)
We're going under, hypnotized by another puppeteer: prescription drugs that are given to the patient trying to help him/her, but they are doing more harm than good (antidepressants, Ritalin, Aderall, sedative drugs)
And the awaited rescue is indeed the death, maybe the person is paralytic, sedated, drugged or simply afraid and so that, can't commit suicide.
Well, that's my theory
