glad to see they haven't abandoned scene titles
It actually isn't trying to be sarcastic.
I guess before/during the creation of the new album the lead vocalist had a huge bout with drug addiction (I'm not sure what drug that was, however) and the song is about his struggles with that.
The lyrics, while admittedly somewhat childish, do illustrate that:
"Someone has sown me shut
And tied me to a bed
They locked me up, locked me up
Oh, God!
This is where they all
Throw me to the wolves
Dragged behind and trampled on
I can't keep clawing at the jaws of hell
The silence is killing me
Nothing to calm the nerve
Nothing to calm the nerve
Write down my thoughts
And read me my rights
Repeat, repeat, repent and repeat
The cycle never really ends
'Till they admit that it's real
The cycle never really ends
'Till they admit, they admit that it's real
Everything, everything is leaving me wondering
I'm I hate that I'm questioning everything, everything
This is how it seems to me
I've drowned myself in self-regret
This is how I wanna be
This can't be how I wanna be
This is spinning perfect little circles
And that's all that they know
They just spin in perfect little circles
And that's all that they know, all that they know
Nothing's right, just left alone
Sinking in will be just fine
None of them will ever know
None of them will ever know
Nothing's right, just left alone
Sinking in will be just fine
None of them will ever know
None of them will ever know
Nothing's right, just left alone
Sinking in will be just fine
None of them will ever know
None of them will ever know"
