they still look at you like a lost battalion
calling on all downs that you once made home
my apologies to your lost battalion
they still look at you like your loss is so great
sha la la
let’s go let’s go
soft soft silver bang like a banks hydraulics
the air it hangs its head and your cat has passed out
you polished off your thoughts in the banks hydraulics
soft soft silver bang when the vaults are all shut
sha la la
let’s go let’s go
down so let down and down again
the doubt it takes you down another step
down you feel so down that all you think
sha la la
here comes everybody from the outside
they all want the same things that you hate
turn your face back on and crack a smile
here comes everybody you never cared for
sha la la
let’s go let’s go
down so let down and down again
the doubt it takes you down another step
your only alibi comes just like
sha la la sha la la
let’s go let’s go
they won’t be happy for you.
calling on all downs that you once made home
my apologies to your lost battalion
they still look at you like your loss is so great
sha la la
let’s go let’s go
soft soft silver bang like a banks hydraulics
the air it hangs its head and your cat has passed out
you polished off your thoughts in the banks hydraulics
soft soft silver bang when the vaults are all shut
sha la la
let’s go let’s go
down so let down and down again
the doubt it takes you down another step
down you feel so down that all you think
sha la la
here comes everybody from the outside
they all want the same things that you hate
turn your face back on and crack a smile
here comes everybody you never cared for
sha la la
let’s go let’s go
down so let down and down again
the doubt it takes you down another step
your only alibi comes just like
sha la la sha la la
let’s go let’s go
they won’t be happy for you.

it's kind of hard to tell what this song is about. on the surface it seems like the 'you' in the song is a rebel or misfit in his/her peer group or school. they are acting like someone they are not to keep up a normal appearance. this stanza makes it obvious.
yup I think so as well, but for me second verse has a totally different meaning:
soft soft silver bang like a banks hydraulics
the air it hangs its head and your cat has passed out
you polished off your thoughts in the banks hydraulics
soft soft silver bang when the vaults are all shut
for me the banks hydraulics are a metaphor for the weight of thoughts that you feel when you're depressed.
So for me the song is about a misfit, that may be just the person who has totally different view of the world from others that surround him. He has to be alone in his thoughts, because he's misunderstood. So he shuts off from his thoughts and puts on a fake smile, just to be with others.
The rephraise just means that he likes to be down I guess. And maybe that's what others don't understand, so he has to be alone with it.

'here comes everybody from the outside
they all want the same things that you hate
turn your face back on and crack a smile
here comes everybody you never cared for'
but i believe that the song is about the person killing everybody that they dislike.i think that in
'soft soft silver bang like a banks hydraulics
the air it hangs its head and your cat has passed out
you polished off your thoughts in the banks hydraulics
soft soft silver bang when the vaults are all shut ',
'soft soft silver bang' might refers to the sound of a gun being shot. 'you polished off your thoughts' seems to refer to the lack of emotion in the killing. then the person is tried, which is what
'the doubt it takes you down another step
your only alibi comes just like
sha la la sha la la '
refers to-- they have only one alibi and they are doubtful about their sentence.
however i could be completely wrong. thoughts?
