This song has a few meanings to me. One of which being war.

"Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness, I need to calculate what creates my own madness. And I'm addicted to your punishment" Could be talking about how America keeps heading into this war for what ever reason. Or why we're even in the war to begin with.

"And you're the master. And I am waiting for disaster." Iraq has become the master at finding ways to fight with us. And all we do is wait for it to happen.

"To tell the truth, I am getting away with murder." We kill people in war...and technically, we're murdering and not being convicted of anything.

"I drink my drink and I don't even want to. I think my thoughts when I don't even need to. And I never look back because I don't even want to." We're doing things we don't want to do...but doing them anyways.

"And I don't need to because I'm getting away with murder." We hardly ever look back/regret anything we do because in the end, what does it matter? We're winning.

And then in one scene of the music video, it shows the electric banner thing saying "In Guns We Trust." instead of "In God We Trust." Thus making it more obviously about war.
I hope that made sense. :)
