'The opening line of 'Mercy'--Help me I've fallen on the inside'--is a reference to the protagonist knowing and recognizing that they have lost something, they have lost themselves," Bellamy said with the song's release in a press statement. "This is where they realize they're being overcome by the dark forces that were introduced in 'Psycho.'"

This song follows the aforementioned "Psycho" and "Dead Inside" in advance of the June 9 release date for Drones. If Bellamy's above quote makes the album sound like it has a specific concept in mind, that's because it does.
