Could be about relationships, but to me could be a somewhat autistic dude:
"You keep me waiting
You keep me alone in a room full of friends
You keep me hating
You keep me listening to the Bends
No amount of pointless days
Can make this go away"
He is bored with his every day life, waiting (for doctors, maybe?), in groups of "friends" to interact, but still feeling alone. No amount of that repetition will cure him - make it go away.
"You have me on my knees
You have me listless and deranged
You have me in your pocket
You have me distant and estranged
No narcotics in my brain
Can make this go away"
He is feeling hopeless and accept the suggestion of taking narcotics for his problems. But they make him just distant and stranged, numb.
The absence of narcotics in his brain could make this go away...
"I'm sorry that, I'm sorry that I'm not like you
I worry that I don't act the way you'd like me to"
Pretty literal
"You find me wanting
You find me bloodless but inspired
You find me out
You find me hallucinating fire
No narcotics in my brain
Can make this go away"
He gets another medication (maybe?), but the effects aren't what the person who gave it to him desired.
There is no ammount of narcotics in his brain that could make him better.
"Have we ever been here before?
Running headlong at the floor
Leave me dreaming on a railway track
Wrap me up and send me back"
He can't stand life anymore. Everything looks the same over and over again e he just doesn't fit. Leave him dreaming on a railway track so he can die.
