I feel like this song is about how the vocalist decides to try and overcome his depression and negative attitude of the world through alcohol or drug abuse, leading him to addiction, increasing his negativity on the world and on himself.
"Drowning myself every night" - possibly meaning he 'drowns' himself in alcohol or literally meaning attempted suicide
"me versus me has always been my biggest fight" - stating that he has always had a mental battle between finding out who he really is and by trying to overcome the negative thoughts and depression he has in his mind
"so I fill it up, fill it up one more time" - possibly indicating he is filling up his glass with more alcohol
"I'm in the tunnel but I can't see the light" - he is in such a bad state of depression that he doesn't ever think he will be able to overcome it and be happy again
"Where is my self control?" - he has an addiction towards alcohol / drug abuse that he has no control over himself anymore, it is apart of his routine now
"I've been thinking this could be the end of me" - he's considering attempting to commit suicide
"The truth is I've just fed myself a lie for too long" - he kept telling himself he was mentally strong but whenever he came into this state of depression he realised how wrong he was about his mental strength
"I'm on the verge of self destruction" - on the verge of committing suicide
"I've let everyone around me down/
And now I'm headed to the bottom of the bottle" - he's let his family and friends down, with his only solution being to drink more alcohol to forget what they think of him
"God I need you now!" - whether or not he believes in God himself, this is his call for help, he is shouting out hoping that he will be able to get out of this state of depression
haven't mentioned everything, but this is my interpretation of this song. Haven't dealt with depression and negativity myself, and still to this day, I know how hard it is to overcome. Love the song, thanks for the inspiration Memphis May Fire !!
