i think this song is about in the midst of all of life's struggles, there's someone or something there in which you can take comfort in.
"Again and again they blend into one, my father the morning pushes through moonlight love. " the "morning" could be the people who aren't pleased with the way he dresses or with what he's involved in(maybe his father?) and it's pushing away the "moonlight love" that he gets from other people like him who understand him.
"So what's sleep? Sleep. I'm tired, so tired, but it seems that there's someone here with me. " he's been so dragged down by the people who don't approve of him, but it doesn't matter because he's with people who truly understand him.
"We are the wakeful, wry, watchful. We're awaiting. Deathless ones. " he's describing himself and his trusted friends. they aren't fooled into becoming part of the crowd. They know that others may beat them down, but a change is coming and they can overcome those who have done injustices to them. They will never be brought down. They are the "deathless ones."
"A story at three with the shrillest of cries." At the peak of their suffering, they rebel.
"My mind fights with the sparkles in the corner of my eyes." he feels so lost of confused by these people who won't accept him without knowing who he truly is
"I hear the morning choir sing to me their elegy. So beautiful. They sing to me their elegy. Requiem." but at the hardest times, there is something or someone(the morning choir) that brings him hope and relief. With his hope renewed, he can continue his fight and go on.
