He decides to try and leave/ escape his state of depressive thoughts, and find another 'lightbulb' or something that makes him happy that he can hold on to. When he says the 'lasts nights bout' it shows us that he enters this dark part of his mind every single night, and that every night he is losing light and hope. When he says the 4th light bulb is out, it's showing that he is drifting further away from God or even from sanity/ a happy mind, and he is losing his hope and faith. I feel as though that throughout this verse, the 'house' is a metaphor for his mind, and the 'lightbulbs' represent any remaining hope of even FAITH left in his mind. He is trying to justify hell and make it seem link a good place so that he doesn't feel so guilty about giving up on God. He is asking the devil to take him to hell so that he can learn to be less 'cold' and to see what is actually going on all around him. 'I know my souls freezing, hell's hot for hood reason so please take me' is him trying to further justify that he belongs in hell rather than heaven, because only hell can thaw his frozen soul, which has been frozen by modern society and how cold and ignorant we are to what is going on around us, and only hell can make us see what we have been blind of all our lives.

'You're the judge, oh no set me free' Is just saying that he feels as though the devil is his judge, and he feels as though him dying and going to hell would be setting him free (also suicide is thought of as a sin by God apparently, so if he is going to commit suicide he needs to know that the devil will still accept him) 'I found my way right time WRONG PLACE' I feel as though this means, he has been trying to get to God for so long but it's not worked, so know he has found his way and where he truly belongs and it is with the devil, and the wrong place means hell instead of heaven.

I think that the chorus is him singing to the devil because hell is where he feels he belongs, because of these feelings of being a bad guy, or that everyone thinks he is the bad guy.

I also think that the 'four walls' could symbolise just like everyone around him (four walls surround you, so it's like everyone around you) and how he feels as though noone can understand him and he feels as though they all just think he's insane. I think that this verse is subtly about Tyler himself, and how anyone who is depressed ('soaked in pain') is instantly labelled as 'bad' by people who don't understand, and that is why it's says the leader of the bad guys, because tyler is like the clique's sort of leader and we are all bad guys too because we have depressive thoughts and people who don't understand that just think we are bad people. Song MeaningSo this is my first time writing one of these so if it doesn't make sense then I'm sorry, this is just my interpretation of the song:

You're the judge, oh no (na na na na oh, oh) I probably should've stayed inside my house' I heard the echo from his secret hideaway
