I always thought of this song as a song describing being medicated for depression. Doctors watching your reactions to different medications. "I'm at the mercy of unwanted emotions" - having to deal with emotions from depression. "Give me half as much, but twice as fast today" - Changing the measurements and times to take medication. I could go more into it but it really feels like the ups and downs to find the right treatment.
