I think it's probably about attempting to transcend the hard feelings and the weight of everyday life that "Story" and "Houses" explored:
"Transform our hearts into melody
Remove the parts, then the tragedy"
In doing so, we try to go beyond the human condition, but soon enough we find that we're bound to this world after all.
"We've left our hands with no escape
And our hearts are tied, tied to this weight
If we let them go, will we break?"
The song reaches its climax at the realization that we are small after all, and that our fragile transcendentalism can be destroyed by the merest shrug of the universe.
"Come out with your fingers, tear us all down"
The thread that unites the song is the whisper of "it's the weight of the world that we're onto, it's the weight of the world". By the end of the song, one realizes that we can't escape the world we live in with just grand thoughts, or even heartfelt melody - it's part of us, tied to our hearts.
