Y'all sound like a bunch of bickering children. Do you really not get the meaning of this song? It's so obvious to me it pains me to write this. This is a story of a man who has lost complete faith with the world. He escapes into drugs and to fantasy so that he doesn’t have to deal with the pain of his real life. In his fantasy, he can be anyone – but yet he knows that he’s no-one – they’re just his thoughts
He’s what you might call “too smart for his own good”. His own intelligence is the trigger that started his road to madness. He laments that he has power over nothing, and longs for all this to be over, but he can’t bring himself to kill himself, so he continues to play the game reluctantly. He’s a mess. He boasts that “I’m in, you’re not” suggesting that he understands more than anyone else, but then he crumbles “Bad dreams won’t stop” – he’s gone too far. Too far to come back. And he knows it. He’s caught in a self-destructive loop, and he can’t escape – not without help.
