I've been getting into this song a lot after hearing it on the radio a few times, I like it so much I'm learning it on the guitar, got most of the rythm parts worked out but those leads are going to take some practice.
I think the song is meant as a general metaphor for self destructive tendencies, whether it be on a large scale or small and personal one. I kind of get the idea with all the car references that it might be about speed, or drugs in general.
It also sounds like the 'protagonist' for lack of a better word feels out of place, he sees things going on around him that bother him, he tries to ignore it, but ultimately it weighs him down. At the end he can't ignore the problems but he can't do anything about it either.
I love the line "when we gamble with our time we choose our destiny", Though I'm not exactly sure what that means, there's an element of truth and wisdom to it lol
