The album this track is from is called 'Matriphagy' which is a concept album about how an overprotective mother pushes her son to the edge of insanity through psychological & physical abuse. Having spent two decades trapped inside a glorified prison and after some failed rescue/escape attempts, the son, in a state of heavy delirium, does the unforgivable to free himself from his mother's wicked hold. The definition of the word Matriphagy is 'the consumption of the mother by her offspring' attributed to some insect species. In the case of the song "Overconfidence" I think it speaks directly to the concept of someone trapped & needing an escape from circumstances of imprisonment by someone they trusted. They seeks any means of escape both physically & mentally from the hold this person has over both them and their life.
