Love and Death, Meltdown lyric analysis

I think I’m having a meltdown

I feel the tension
(I feel the tension)
Confessions told
(Tell me, tell me everything)
Insanity is taking over
The fantasies are driving me mad

Before
Never let go
Before I fold
Before
Never let go
Before I fold

You know that I am heading for a meltdown
Controlling me losing it all
You know that I am heading for a meltdown
Just take away the tears
I’m suffocating, don’t leave me here waiting

The cry within
(Cry within)
The flesh is bold
(Tell me, tell me everything)
Calamity is waiting silent
The razor is cutting the pain and letting it out

Before
Never let go
Before I fold
Before
Never let go
Before I fold

You know that I am heading for a meltdown
Controlling me losing it all
You know that I am heading for a meltdown
Just take away the tears
I’m suffocating, don’t leave me here waiting

Over and over in my head
I see your scars
Remember the day when we first met
Take me back

Before
Never let go
Before I fold
Before
Never let go
Before I fold

You know that I am heading for a meltdown
Controlling me losing it all
You know that I am heading for a meltdown
Just take away the tears
I’m suffocating, don’t leave me here waiting

Meltdown
For a meltdown
Meltdown


Like the name suggests, this song is literally about having a meltdown (loosing your temper). 
This is shown throughout the lyrics. For example, "I think I'm having a meltdown" and "I feel the tension" clearly express the anger and pain that the singer is singing about.

The semantic field of anger has given me many ideas for my music video.
One of my ideas is to have each group member have small things that annoy them and gradually make them more angry. For example, one member could be walking across the field and his folder could suddenly blow away in the wind. This would result in him slowly getting closer to having his own meltdown.
