This is by far my favorite Mudvayne song. I think it's about a guy who always gets put down by everyone, and then he finally finds the courage to stand up for himself and make himself a better person. He's telling his story to us, telling us that if he can do it, so can we. "You're all killers!" could mean that everyone is always killing his goals and dreams. "Trapped in the Wake of a Dream" could mean that he was stuck in his dreams because he never had the self esteem or encouragement needed to achieve them. One of the best songs I've ever heard.

We go through everyday life being pushed from all directions until you eventually lose it. When pushed over the edge, you fight back and unleash all frustrations built up.

personally i think the song is empowering. "Throw the chains all away, take control of your life. Powers known, THIS IS MY... DREAM! " at first he is at the mercy of his "demons". but be begins to realize that no matter whats happening to him this is HIS dream and he doesnt have to tolerate it. the dream is a metaphor for life and existance. hes telling us "Through light this mind awakens, I draw the line from then and now." and with that light...whatever light it may be... it can be anything for any of us...he can take control of his life. Things from the past will no longer hold him down which gives him the power to control his FUTURE. thats what i felt like at least.
