Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Holding the reigns of the lives you've freed
You have come so far so they won't hang
In your stunning composition
The complexity of light
Will call on you to dance in its fire
Now you're in the whole world's view
Counting the crow's feet
I won't bind The Order's reach
I cannot dare
Menacing disguise in your head
Leads you toward the truth
But they won't care
If we leave it soaring
We hide beneath the eyes of fear
To find a reason to believe
Now you're in the whole world's view
Counting the crow's feet
I won't bind The Order's reach
I cannot bear
In these seventeen hours I'll be alone
In your black I'll meditate
I won't find out your name
Before it's too late
In the point between fear and laughter
You'll find me waiting
Tore down to the bone
With a guiltless cost
Your frightened eyes will find hope
Hiding in your...
Sleep now, dreams will always go away
But are you afraid the sound of my eyes will keep you awake?
In this strange set of days
We will learn what we now deserve
With our strange set of ways
We'll burn
It's been seven years, rising up
The eye's glow never shined so vividly
It's the mask that makes us weak
The hand that never feeds
And we've always known.
You have come so far so they won't hang
In your stunning composition
The complexity of light
Will call on you to dance in its fire
Now you're in the whole world's view
Counting the crow's feet
I won't bind The Order's reach
I cannot dare
Menacing disguise in your head
Leads you toward the truth
But they won't care
If we leave it soaring
We hide beneath the eyes of fear
To find a reason to believe
Now you're in the whole world's view
Counting the crow's feet
I won't bind The Order's reach
I cannot bear
In these seventeen hours I'll be alone
In your black I'll meditate
I won't find out your name
Before it's too late
In the point between fear and laughter
You'll find me waiting
Tore down to the bone
With a guiltless cost
Your frightened eyes will find hope
Hiding in your...
Sleep now, dreams will always go away
But are you afraid the sound of my eyes will keep you awake?
In this strange set of days
We will learn what we now deserve
With our strange set of ways
We'll burn
It's been seven years, rising up
The eye's glow never shined so vividly
It's the mask that makes us weak
The hand that never feeds
And we've always known.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
This seems like a concept album thing, in comparison to the rest of the lyrics. It's pretty vague though so no idea.
