The song is about drug abuse and prostitution. In many foreign countries women are given heroin from who they think are a friend. They then get hooked on the junk and have to visit their pusher over and over for their fix. Often times they are forced into prostitution to support the habit. Heroin addiction is one of the most serious forms of addiction and is nearly impossible with out hospital intervention. In these third world countries hospitals are anything but free, and only the well-to-do get the opportunity to go into a treatment center.
Setting fire to sleeping giants means to do something you know dawn well that you should not do. An educated person knows that they had better not hang out or do heroin, but often they do anyhow due to peer pressure and other factors.
"I'm think bout another world tonight." Could mean the narrator of the song is high himself.
"and it breaks my heart like dancing up all night ride so high we both start thinking 'bout another world tonight and it feels so wrong like nothing we've ever felt before " Could represent the remorse and wonderment the narrator and the woman both feel for trying the drug out, and possibly the man feeling bad about turning another person into a slave to a chemical.
"Strangers candy" The old advice adults give children about candy from strangers stems from fears in the early 60's that candy could be laced with drugs; specifically with LDS.
"let's go for a long ride" Obviously another drug reference. Possibly the act of kidnapping as well.
"I'll show you places you won't ever want to leave." The chains of addiction.
"they think this body's a dead note dancing to the beat but they'll never see this corpse coming 'till it kills them" People making the mistake of underestimating the addictive qualities of narcotics. Most people that start drug habits do it thinking they can stop at any time they want.
@burningmelon Your loss. I do not mind that a band is able to make more money then before by releasing a single. They are able to reach a broader audience by not sounding as caustic as they used to. The mathcore is still there, irregular tempos and swift time signature changes aplenty.
