I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
These hands
They shake
I swear I must be cursed
This brain
It aches
Any moment it might burst
Save your soul
Don’t stop, they’re gaining on you
Heads will roll
Don’t quit, they’re gonna’ get you
This pulse
It speeds
My nerves have all been fried
This heart
It beats
Forever out of time
Save your soul
Don’t stop, they’re gaining on you
Heads will roll
Don’t quit, they’re gonna’ get you
Fade in to an empty road
Rain is pouring on the scene
Lightning strikes across the sky
Pray this is a hellish dream
Apparitions manifest
Poltergeists and entities
Unseen malignant threats
They are catching up to me
It was a dark and stormy night
Pins and needles down your spine
Shadows are alive with shapes
Nameless beasts of long lost lore
The forest stirs, ready to pounce
Feel the darkness at your door
Ethereal revenants
Phantasms and deities
Bloodthirsty spawns of hell
Try to get their claws in me
It was a dark and stormy night
Pins and needles down your spine
Dead eyes
They stare
From out beyond the trees
The sound
It stings
Like a nest of angry bees
Save your soul
Don’t stop, they’re gaining on you
Heads will roll
Don’t quit, they’re gonna’ get you
Bared teeth
They gleam
Approaching from behind
Those claws
Dig deep
The results are most unkind
Save your soul
Don’t stop, they’re gaining on you
Heads will roll
Don’t quit, they’re gonna’ get you
Fade in to an empty road
Rain is pouring on the scene
Lightning strikes across the sky
Pray this is a hellish dream
Apparitions manifest
Poltergeists and entities
Unseen malignant threats
They are catching up to me
It was a dark and stormy night
Pins and needles down your spine
Shadows are alive with shapes
Nameless beasts of long lost lore
The forest stirs, ready to pounce
Feel the darkness at your door
Ethereal revenants
Phantasms and deities
Bloodthirsty spawns of hell
Try to get their claws in me
It was a dark and stormy night
Pins and needles down your spine
Be careful or you soon shall find
That this life has long passed you by
Rigor mortis it seems
Has crept up your sleeves
And dried up your quivering mind
Be cautious or you soon shall find
The angels have long left your side
Your body’s grown cold
Flesh drips from bones
And memory buried in time
Do not
Let those
Fiends
Take you alive
Fade in to an empty road
Rain is pouring on the scene
Lightning strikes across the sky
Pray this is a hellish dream
Apparitions manifest
Poltergeists and entities
Unseen malignant threats
They are catching up to me
It was a dark and stormy night
Pins and needles down your spine
Shadows are alive with shapes
Nameless beasts of long lost lore
The forest stirs, ready to pounce
Feel the darkness at your door
Ethereal revenants
Phantasms and deities
Bloodthirsty spawns of hell
Try to get their claws in me
It was a dark and stormy night
Pins and needles down your spine

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who
Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
