I've always felt this song is about the existential crisis we're in and the isolation and loneliness that comes with it.
Goodbye, the future's sold out, there's no use screaming. Who thought we'd ever get this far?
It opens with a hopeless critique of where we as a civilization are and the pointlessness of trying to fight it. In a wry way he's suggesting that we did better than expected.
Tonight, your faith has come down to money and a TV, psychics who've never been to Mars, and Nazis breast feeding.
With the Nietzschean "death of God" there's been an effort to fill that void with things that provide no real comfort or answers; money, media, false prophets, etc. Relying on these things has just made the emptiness worse.
I know you must be upset/ I can't find meaning. I'm sorry, we're sorry! We're all scared, all scared!
Hey, is anybody home? Has anybody wasted tears on loneliness that everyone...
I've always felt that this has a double meaning. Simultaneously the feeling of being unhappy while Raine can't find any value in anything as well as being upset that the singer can't find meaning. Raine goes on to say everyone has the same feelings - perhaps because we're all experiencing the same crisis.
Goodnight, the truth has come out that everyone's needy.
White teeth, a ticket to meet God, be all that you envy
Shotgun under your bed has started breathing. You shot it, you shot it! I'm bare, I'm bare.
Here he reveals again that everyone is the same in that we have the same basic desires: to be attractive, to be worthy to meet God, and have/ be everything we want to fulfill us. The darker side of having those unmet needs leads to suicidal ideation and ultimately the act of suicide. The singer is left exposed and raw.
Hey, is anybody home? Is anybody wasting tears on loneliness that everyone becomes? Is anybody low? Is anybody painting fear on bedroom walls that save us from? Is anybody wasting tears on loneliness that everyone becomes when they're not alright. The loneliness that everyone becomes
The final chorus reiterates that everyone experiences the same isolation, emptiness, and loneliness. Interesting that the singer offers no answers beyond the knowledge that we're all in the same boat.
