Emenius Sleepus song meaning

This song can be interpreted in two different ways. The narrator could be talking to an old friend that he hasn't seen for a really long time, and now when they've finally met again, he sees how much this person has changed. He mentions that a long time ago they used to be the same, but now this old friend is so different from what they used to be that it's making the narrator sick and he wants to go back home.

The other interpretation of this song has to do with self-digging. The narrator is talking to himself, asking himself what went wrong, "did anybody ever say 'no', ever tell you that you weren't right?" He realizes that the mistakes he made and the cruelty of life itself turned him into something he doesn't want to be - he makes himself sick now.
