Lyric discussion by knowforever 

Let's just say that we all have "higher self" (conscience) that watches over us and guides us through life. In the same way that we have animals as pets that we take care of, nurture, and watch out for, our higher self does the same for us. Long story short, this song might be "sang" by the higher self TO the lower self (human). Basically the higher self reminding the human that it will always be there guiding and protecting.

"Dont fret prescious im here, Step away from the window" = the lower self (human) is overwhelmed and ready to "quit" and higher self steps in to comfort. "Go back to sleep" basically means "shut the world out, go back inside yourself, and pay attention to ME (higher self)".

"I'll be the one to protect you from Your enemies and all your demons I'll be the one to protect you from A will to survive and a voice of reason I'll be the one to protect you from Your enemies and your choices son One and the same I must isolate you Isolate and save you from yourself

Swaying to the rhythm of the new world order and counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums"

Translation: We often over power our intutition (higher selfs knowledge) with our logic (lower selfs knowledge). The higher self (our intuition) will protect us from over thinking, and inbalancing logic and intutuition and from dwelling on all the corruption ("isolate and save you from yourself"). The "powers that be" have created a system or society in which we live in fear and become "disscontected" (a New World Order). Paying attention to and dwelling on the problematic outside world influenced by the "powers that be" (swaying the the rythm of a NWO, and counting bodies like sheep), only brings ones life down and encourages "self disconnection". The higher self will protect us at all times.

There is so much going on in the earth plane that the human easily gets distracted, and loses track and grasp of his/her life path and literally "disconnects" (there's a song directly about that from APC) from the higher self. Sang by the higher self (consience; soul), this song reminds the the lower self (human; us) not to get caught up in the world around us and reminds us to "pay no mind what other voices (in your head or in the world) say, they dont give a fuck about you, Like I (higher self) do."

Pretty deep and pretty motivating if you get to the point break of feeling like you have nothing/nobody. Its always nice to be reminded that everyone has a part of them self that's literally guiding and carrying them through life. Its all about keeping that "connection" and not losing yourself to your surroundings. Maynard tends to write about this "connection" and "dissconnection" and interaction between the higher(spiritual) and the lower(physical) self, a lot.

Just my thoughts ;)

@knowforever I got the exact opposite idea from these lyrics. This is not good advice from a benevolent higher power. It is literally the wolf telling the sheep to trust only the information that comes from him, don’t think for yourself, believe what the overlords and their media gatekeepers tell you, stay a helpless child reliant on the government to protect you from the ‘boogey man’ which for liars with nefarious motives always turns out to be the truth.
