Ever felt like the world is pushing you down, and you're struggling to get back up? This song captures that intense feeling of being overwhelmed by life's challenges. Chevelle seems to be addressing the fallout from financial deceit, possibly referencing the infamous Bernie Madoff scandal. The lyrics paint a picture of betrayal and the crushing weight of consequences ("Like your face getting forced to the floor"). It speaks to the frustration of seeing others manipulate and exploit systems for their gain while leaving devastation in their wake. The recurring line about being "way too close to it all" suggests a sense of entrapment and proximity to chaos, making it hard to see a way out. Overall, it's a raw expression of anger and disillusionment with those who take advantage without remorse.
