Lyric discussion by r0sesinhereyes 

i get the feeling this song is about how people are so focused on dying that they neglect to really live... the 'are you dead or are you sleeping' line refers to people living as though they are asleep, and isaac thinking that it would be better to be dead than to live like that.

orrrr else it's not really about anything. EITHER WAY IT'S A GREAT SONG.

pretty sure you nailed it
