For me, they're singing about an existential crises, depression and mostly suicide.
I can't quite tell que reason for them to be feeling this way, because there could be many, based on the lyrics itself.
When they says "caught in a silent scream", they say he's been asking for help and trying to show how he's been feeling. He's screaming, but silently. And then someone saw him struggling with himself.
Sometimes they're describing the act of hanging himself ("Heat filling up my cheeks / Not exactly what you think" - when someone's got heaten cheeks, at first you think it's an warm, comfortable and even loving situation. But it's not exactly what you think: he hanged himself, so the blood is all in his head due to the rope, knots and whatever), sometimes they seem to be talking to someone who's already dead ("See you in the room next door / Your feet float above the floor / Dress torn above your knees / Like you've owned it for centuries" - this person has also comitted suicide, maybe also by hanging, like they describe the floating of the body and the way the dress is, like standing there for a long time. Maybe they're the reason the first one is kiling himself/having suicidal thoughts).
The title could be some self-shooting mark, brain-exploding with a shotgun. Dots and dashes of one's brains on the scene. And then they're talking to someone (maybe a therapist), and this person is telling they're gonna get through it. ("You tell me about the falls / Of kingdoms and champions / You've seen a thousand times before" - the psychologist says even the best people out there maybe once questioned their place on Earth.) They talked about it, the one singing had opened up with the doctor, but it wasn't enough. ("I'll show you my private things
Like my scrapbook of fantasies / You say I look a little too green / For saving" - again, they talked about better days and hopes and dreams and aspirations, but now it's too late. He's a little too green, the body is already dead.)
Now, here comes the part about what is the meaning of life, which is my personal favorite.
"I'm already bored
I'm already wise
I'm already worn
I'm already wondering, 'What am I?'
I'm already rough
I'm already lean
I'm already wanting to be obscene
I'm already cursed
I'm already dry
I'm already wondering, 'What am I?'
I've already learned a bit of sin
Enough already, let me in"
He's already lived a lot, suffered a lot, realized a lot about himself, the world, others, etc. People say we are born to be happy and happiness, love, self-realization is all there is, but how could one tell that he's there? He's hurt, tired, depressed, and he doesn't want to keep doing this all over again until he's finally "happy". He's been through enough. Let him in (on paradise, another life, whatever).
"You say that I'll be surprised / At the codes in the sunrise": here again he's talking to someone who's already dead. They already been there, crossed the line; they know what's after life. He has no ideia what happens next.
And then maybe he doesn't actually killed himself, but is seriously thinking about it. A little afraid of this is all there is. "But if I don't like what I see / And my grip starts loosening" - what if he is brave enough to do it, and then there's nothing better? What if it's too late to turn back? But he's so curious... "The edge of the big reveal / Could be the end of the story": maybe the "goosebumps", the feeling of answering the world's number 1 question (what's death, what happens, what if death is the best feeling ever, etc.), could make him do it just to prove a point. When he finally do it, he'll get all the answers.
