The song talks about how the world is crumbling down and everything that was built is now lost. While the narrator doesn't cling to the past, the "joke" or situation seems to have gone on for too long. The narrator feels like a "punchline paid to stay" and doesn't want to be used for someone else's amusement anymore.

A new dimension of earth has begun See the ends of earth there crumbling All the work we've done here has been lost But I don't hang on to much And I feel this joke has gone long enough We doubt you feel the same But I'm not your punchline paid to stay All the others They've gone... Who are Who are you [x4] Claws tighten down against Ease into passionate suspense For a second not a single Moment of my past belonged But I don't hang on to much And I feel this joke has gone long enough We doubt you feel the same But I'm not your punchline paid to stay I don't hang on to much And I feel this joke has gone long enough We doubt you feel the same But I'm not your punchline paid to stay
