My apocalypse: A song about depression or anxiety? First off he starts off describing his conscience, which is full of trees (life) and fire (metaphorical threat to life). Darkness is born only because there is light. Then, through a silhouette, the personification of darkness, a man comes out with an axe, another metaphorical danger to life (trees). Not being able to sleep is an anxiety symptom, and the axe man saying this to the protagonist is very iconic.
