There are lots of other song references in these lyrics - maybe it's about influence?

I think it has to deal with an addiction of any sort. It could be a sex addict or a druggie...anything.
"With the lights out it’s a little less dangerous
Even with a stranger never gets painless
Don’t be afraid (afraid, afraid)

Every time I think I’m gonna change it (think I'm gonna change it, think I'm gonna change it)
It’s driving me (driving me) insane (insane)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
He strives for changing his life and his being, but everyone around him sees him for what he really is. Thats why it never gets painless, and "with the lights out (not literally, just about being alone)its a little less dangerous" because people will not see what he is , and he does not want to be in that situation. Thats why he dreams of the fantasy about being himself and having people around him and not worrying about his addiction."Maybe tonight we can forget about it all
It could be just like heaven" he wants it to end now, so his life will be what he wants (fantasy)This addiction has changed himself .."I am a machine, no longer living just a shell of what I dreamed" and he cannot control it.It has drained his true self, but now it is to him, like a scar on his face which reveals his evil identity.
"Say it, say it, say that you believe
(Automatic, I imagine I believe)"
He wants people to believe in him that he can change himself, and that he believes.

I think the song is about wanting to do and be what it is you really yearn for and really feel like doing in your life and not thinking about any consequences. kinda like doing things in life without worrying about sinning. just do what feels right and good and fun. Maybe even like he is the devil and he is telling you that its ok. "Automatic I imagine I believe" "say it say it say that you believe"

I interpret this song as; The singer ('boy') sings about a girl he has lost. The girl can't live with confronting herself with him as she isn't sure about her own. She's trying to fly away from it and seeking pleasure in new things, that's the boy saying 'even with a stranger, it never gets painless' as he doesn't believe it works that way. The boy won't let the girl go before knowing it's fixed, as he would lose himself in some way as he swore himself he loved the girl in the past and would make her get 'the best of her life'. He's living for his dream, fantasy, but it's just an empty shell he's fighting for. He's become a machine while he's trying to persuit this dream, all he has left is this shell and for that reason, of more importance to keep standing for. He's living and bleeding for it. It could then also be an attack to the idea of willing to have anything 'perfect', posing the question in what degree this is possible. The boy might be adressing somebody to change his perception of life and the things that happened. At the same time, 'the fantasy' wouldn't be referring to his dream, but to close-minded thoughts from the girl, but she keeps believing in it, and is bleeding for it ... She too has become a machine as she feels she has lost herself thinking this way, holding on to the shell of wrong thoughts, to stay 'strong'.

It is about an addiction. mentally or physically inducted. Anyway, it's not about lost loves or that sort of crappy bullshit.
