nobody wants to dive into the meaning of this, really? I find Brigade so underrated..unfair 'cause they're amazing!!! they're one of my fave bands and Will Simpson is a fantastic songwriter!
Anyway. I think this song is about death..not exactly physical death, maybe the "death" of a relationship? But there's a bunch of clues in there that makes me believe it's about loving someone, not being able to tell them, and they've passed on, and you want to tell them how much you love them and how much they meant to you:
1) the line "...but you WERE in my life" -regret, perhaps?
2) the line and underlying vocal "the death inside of you and me (in one last dance)" -it's got permanence all over it..death, last dance
3) ...and basically the entire chorus gives a sad, "goodbye forever" vibe
4) the line "in parallel worlds we align" -the one singing's on earth while the other's a spirit in another world, most likely heaven
5) the line "...if all I have to learn is how to be sure I let go, you can be my guide" -I can't help but think this is something someone who cannot deal with death of a loved one would say
So there you go, that's my interpretation! I could dissect it more but I'm afraid I'd eat up all the space here ;)
