Could be an allegory for the band being on the road and the loneliness of touring.
"To tempt the fool into the mine
Let loose the snake with antidote"
Creating another album requires touring to support sales but takes you far from home but is necessary to continue to create.
"I'm on my way back home
I'm on my way back home"
Every mile traveled on tour is to get back home.
"I see your face inside the smoke
It's hard to scream and nice to choke"
Band mates self medicating to relieve the stress and loneliness of being on the road together. Especially after performances.
"Let's rest awhile inside the cave
Don't cry you'll see that we'll be safe"
Pre-performance jitters in the green room, hiding from rabid fans after the show.
"Take the hand
Guide the way
Far away
Find the truth
Always
Always"
Finally the chorus is plainly each band member keeping each other sane and with it touring. Each individual helping keep the others focused knowing it is necessary, useless without the other three and feeling like performing each and every show to the best effort so they can continue to create and tour etc.
