I believe it's more than just 'loneliness.' There's so much more in just the two lines "and if we can't even trust ourselves, how can we trust anyone else" than just loneliness; it's not safe to swim today- it's not safe to trust anybody-not even yourselves-and if you can't trust yourselves-how can you trust anyone else? Besides that part, it's kind of hard to explain, exhaling blood and such; I want to say it's a straight up doom-swoon.
And what I mean by doom-swoon is that it swoon's the listener with the sweet guitar progression and the catchy sort of uplifting emphasis on the "if we can't even trust ourselves" stanza, while maintaining this underlying cynical, doom that is "i don't think i can be saved" and "exhaling blood." I think it evokes some really interesting sensations. Absolutely sick musical arrangement, some critics could claim some aspects to be simple, but as far as Veil of Maya is concerned, less is more, because anything is a giant bomb of greatness in your lap.
