After looking at all of these comments and suggestions on what this song could be about, I've come to this one conclusion.
They're all about people that have done something.
A load of people claim that the story is about a soldier. A soldier who has fought and fought and remembers all of the terrible things that have been done to him. He has killed and is now tortured by the very thought of it.
Another group of people say that it is about Ghengis Khan and/or reincarnation. That's also believable because they found the ability to recall memories that they don't want to remember. But it's there anyways, and there is nothing they can do about it.
More people are also saying that it's a song about God, and how he created the world. They claim that he doesn't want to see the brutal violence that goes on in the world and therefore he tries to eliminate it, but fails.
To some people, it also means about running away or escaping a conflict, like a criminal escaping from jail, or a boyfriend becoming tired of his girlfriend. Either way they are haunted by their pasts.
So I was thinking...
Maybe that is what this song is about. Actually being doomed by your past and wanting to turn away from it, but you can't. There's no way you can deny it. Because out of everything you've done there's no way to change it now, meaning that you're left to face your fears.
Maybe that's what it's about.
Rori the Rocker
ps-- and it is "shit" in the second verse, because it's been bleeped out. And I believe it is "read the message shown" for the end of the chorus, because it doesn't make sense if he says "write the message". Why would you write a message if you don't want to? You would rather not read it.
Rori, my take is that is if the protagonist is in a position of power, and has used his power to do things he considers wrong, maybe the message he doesn't want to write could doom someone (death sentence) or could be sending the family the notification of a loved-one's death. Just a thought. Of course, that is assuming it's "write" and not "read". :)
