This is going to be a long interpretation, but whatever: The "place that he found in the depths of his dreams" is something he subconsciously wants. The "garden" is his life (gardens filled with plants->life), but his is surrounded by "fire in trees" (his life is messed up, to put it simply). The "man with the axe" is Death, and Ronnie feels he is trying to say something to him: "Never fall asleep, you won't wake up. Destroy the guillotine, before he does". I think that means basically kill yourself before someone else does (probably kills him mentally, but anyways) "I walk with shadows" The shadows are his life (shadows->dark->bad) The "better way" is death. The "questions I will never say" are things like 'Will anyone care if I'm gone? ' [My personal favorite of the entire song] "Hiding from the gallows (They keep me safe and sound)" I think that this is saying Ronnie is hiding from death (for those of you who don't know what a gallow is, its like the guillotine) but the "they keep me safe and sound" part means like he feels as if he is better of dead. "So I walk with shadows". The 'So' was put there to say 'So I continue life (walk with shadows) Then "the ways of burning down this house" is important in my opinion. House->Life/many people. So I think this means he thinks that by living, he is destroying everyone else's lives. The "end transmission" verse is basically saying not to talk to anyone about it. "Just don't trust these liars at the door (you have to find a better way). Kill the ones that have these answers for (the questions I will never say)". This is saying no matter how much people say 'Don't kill yourself' or something, they are lying. Better off dead. It is the "better way". So the killing of the ones with those answers is saying 'i don't want to hear any of this because it's untrue' The "vibrant colors" are the things that gave his life meaning, but "the pain" stands for how they only give pain now. The rest I already explained. Matt. (I swear I did not steal this from a site or anything. I'm 15. This is honestly just my opinion on what the lyrics mean. I think of this as a song about suicide which is why it has the name "My Apocalypse").
