    About suicide, perhaps, or at least cutting... I initially connected it to be about the music itself, "archaic methods transfer through well in the face of mass denial." the archaic methods were music, the mass denial was society's denial of the expression of the emotions that metal caters to, and especially the line "bitterness fuels the mode of the escape of mediocrity" refering to metal being the escape from everday (or even specifically musical) mediocrity made me think this. However, the lines "shattered nerves ground down to a glass edge carrying me away. Bloodletting a favorite game of solitaire. A suicide mission destined to fail, a moving ladder to climb taking me away." point to the songs meaning as suicide or self-harm.
