And it's about breaking out of that box and looking outside of that box that has been built for you.(WIKIPEDIA)

Lyrics

VERSE 1
I'me the man in the box
Buried in my shit
Wont you come and save me, ... Save Me
CHORUS
Feed my eyes
(**backing vocal)Can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ
**Deny your Maker,
He, He who tries,
**will be wasted,
So feed my eyes
** Now you've sewn them shut
VERSE 2
I'me the dog who get beat,
Shove my nose in shit
Wont you come and save me , SAVE ME,
