Another Night Out Lyrics
lift the wheels up from the roadway
close your sparrow's glassy eyes
and walk upon the water once more for me
are those dead diamonds baby
or are they stars gone to sleep?
so low that you might miss me
slowly fades the light
so low that you might miss me
slowly fades the light
wait for the spring
and to this thing I do surrender
into the darkest sin I climb with the vine
on a graveyard train pulling away
drowning to dive down full fathom five
to wear the hollow crown
to haunt the hollow trees
and what from heaven's tongue is heard?
through the veins
love sustained
another night out
so low that you might miss me
slowly fades the light
another night out
another night out
wait for the spring
and to this thing I give myself
on a graveyard train pulling away
down into heaven
down into heaven
down into heaven
to wear the hollow crown
to haunt the hollow trees
to wear the hollow crown
to haunt the hollow trees
close your sparrow's glassy eyes
and walk upon the water once more for me
are those dead diamonds baby
or are they stars gone to sleep?
slowly fades the light
so low that you might miss me
slowly fades the light
and to this thing I do surrender
into the darkest sin I climb with the vine
on a graveyard train pulling away
drowning to dive down full fathom five
to wear the hollow crown
to haunt the hollow trees
through the veins
love sustained
another night out
slowly fades the light
another night out
another night out
and to this thing I give myself
on a graveyard train pulling away
down into heaven
down into heaven
down into heaven
to wear the hollow crown
to haunt the hollow trees
to wear the hollow crown
to haunt the hollow trees

When I hear this song, I think of a man old in age, well-traveled, going for one last trip because of the first verse, and near the end, transcending into the chorus, he asks if "those are dead diamonds" or "stars gone to sleep?" I believe that he is inferring to the twinkle in a lover's eye, long with him, but she has aged too, and thus the light, though it may be there, is dulled, not because of loss, but because it is glazed over. He puts it in such a loving way I cannot see it otherwise, and so he says in the chorus "So low that you might miss me...slowly fades the light", refers to that when he dies that he hopes that he will be missed, but not forgotten. The second verse alludes to his acceptance that he will die eventually, though I believe he says at the end of the second verse "..to wear the hallowed (holy) crown...to haunt the hollow trees...", as if to say he awaits whatever fate brings him, whether it is Heaven, or simply roaming as a spirit. He speaks again of heaven when he says that it's speech/chorus runs through his veins, that it is undying love, for yet another night.
That is my interpretation, and I'm sure there are many ways it can be interpreted, but it really is a beautiful song and one of my favorites off of the new album.
I believe it is much darker than that. The "darkest sin" is suicide. I feel like this track is about a man who has decided to die; a man who can no longer cope with himself. I believe you are correct when saying he hopes he will be missed. The somberness of the vocals and the haunting melody leads me to believe this can only be about a lonely man who has given up. A man who has reached the end. He has surrendered. It is a beautiful song.

@runeofred I feel it's about suicide by hanging. Hollow crown = noose
