I think that its about Ronnie because I'm pretty sure he wrote it. He started makings this album with Craig right after he got kicked out whether you think so or not.
"I cant believe, the drama that I'm in
The flood is getting closer, i don't think they know that I know how to swim
You're feeling numb, from all that has become
It leaves your gums, slips down your tongue
And travels fast down towards your lungs
All because I'm leaving you behind"
It is talking about all of the troubles that Ronnie is in and the line "i don't think they know i know how to swim" means that they don't know but he can handle all of the consequences for the things hes done.
"I feel the pressure
Its coming down on me
Its turning me black and blue
Woah
You left me on the side of the road
And now I've got no place to go
You brought the flood"
Now maybe he realized that he needs help and that the rest of escape the fate just "left him on the side of the road" meaning they left him behind without helping him through his problems.
"I cant believe, the troubles that you've caused
The pain is getting stronger
Like an open wound without the gauze
Its on my brain, driving me insane
Its on my mind all of the time
And if it left I would be fine
All because I'm leaving you behind"
I think this has to do with the whole fight that started because of Max's problems (although it wasn't Max's fault).Now hes suffering and in the end says hes leaving escape the fate behind.
"Leave it be
Take it back take it back
Leave it be
Take it back, take it back
Leave it be"
He doesnt know now whether to leave them behind ("leave it be")or to go back and say sorry( "take it back").
My 2 cents (or maybe quite a bit more :P)

I think it's about someone that did something really bad to someone else and he can't face them because he's really guilty about it, yet he feels sorry for himself.
There could be many meanings to the song though, but that's what I believe it's about.
It has not been confirmed. However, many people think that it sounds a whole lot like it's about Halo.
The guillotine :]
The song was written by Craig Mabbitt who had a history of a girl cheating on him and wanting him back after he won some type of competition. The song explains what he was feeling and is pretty much his history with a girl he loved! Poor guy
Muse - Apocalypse Now
Situations by Escape the Fate.
Machine Gunner - Jimi Hendrix, small part of the song anyway....
