I think this song is about living in the city (“getting mixed up in the pot among the vapors”) and the author’s feeling that the only way to keep his sanity there is to embrace his “neighbors”.

[Verse 1]
On the attack
With a brain that's intact
Whiff of wait in the air
On an impulse and prayer
With a sweat on the back
From a broke zodiac
Stumbling into the layer
But can't find no one there
[Chorus]
Hearing angels kept in cages
Gonna save 'em, if I can't then I won't stay well
Skipping dangers, being strangers
Getting mixed up in the pot among the vapors
[Verse 2]
And it's been calling to you
With a quiet demand
And a smoldering brand
And once given its due
Doing things that are true
Hard to misunderstand
When it's giving a hand
[Chorus]
Hearing angels kept in cages
Gonna save 'em, if I can't then I won't stay well
Skipping dangers, being strangers
Getting mixed up in the pot among the vapors
[Post-Chorus]
Neighbors
