I have to say i agree with all of you BUT i don't think this song is about a specific person losing it and killing himself although it is obviously in that category. An earlier post by Spinesshanked said something about the restricting of natural urges we get as people living in a society with 'freedom' got me thinking and sometimes when shit isn't what it should be in this world i can see myself jumping off a building as well . I think thats what the song means. Its about noticing how things just don't seem to be right. The selling of time and space and getting taxed for nothing yet we still seem to be inculcated by society which uses its crafty propaganda to have us' lie, lie, lie blinded' There's a part that i find absolutely mystifying which occurs around the second chorus. This is where the background singer sings ' I can see my self, I can see myself, Its me in herd. You can see your self, you can see yourself, hey look it you'. That part of the song says so much to me because he's so apathetical about how he expresses that 'hey look its you' part. And I don't think he says 'see' in a literal sense rather in a very scary very vivid pictures which occur during total absentmindedness.
The end of this song is prepossessing in every way. My personal favorite part is when he says ' On the smile of the kid' To me this line wraps everything up with the ONE thing that is important which is happiness. Basically This song is for anyone who's ever felt like they're gonna snap because the world around them seems completely oblivious to the unprincipled, nefarious ways of the bullshit world around them. 'Pick me up, take me home, get me out of here please...'
I have to say this conclusion i have come up with would never have came to be if it wasn't for your guys ideas it the first place and in no way am i undermining any of your opinions. On the contrary, I suspect that you guys are my kind of thinkers;)
