I think this song is Mike speaking to us as if he's Chester, he's voicing the pain & frustration he believes was going on inside of him up until his last day. Being as close as he was to Chester, he would know if anyone what he was enduring. These lyrics seem to be right on in terms of how someone could be suffering on the inside but present a whole other face to the world. 'But maybe I'm just falling, to get somewhere they won't' my favorite line in the song - this seems to be about how Chester felt like a prisoner free falling towards his own private hell but didn't wanna share that darkness with anyone else towards the end.
