I'm honestly not even sure what this song was about. I think probably nihilism and purposelessness have something to do with it but I'm leaving that open for interpretation.
lyrics
I searched for cavities
But my entire body's a hole
In times of clarity
I shrugged off bits of all that I know
I melt like icicles
A perfect volume to fit the mold
I find it difficult
To repossess the skin I've outgrown
And I feel like nothing
Concern abandoned me
And mainly when I needed to care
I won the lottery
And never became a billionaire
I am the car I drive
I'm overused and under-repaired
Indulged and now deprived
The house went up in flames as I stared
And I feel like nothing
Wounded in the open
Bleeding gives me motion
Otherwise I'm hoping
To just stay still
I dragged along my corpse
My imprint is a suspicious trail
I never felt remorse
And accepted a sentence in jail
I sometimes get the urge
To change direction when I'm ahead
Backtrack to feel secure
Progress and regression repeated
And I feel like nothing
Wounded in the open
Bleeding gives me motion
Otherwise I'm hoping
To just stay still
Settling for no plans
Sinking into quicksand
Seems the only choice is
To just stay still
