This song, to me, is about a guy who is waiting for this girl who is not ready for a relationship. And he's waiting and waiting for her to make a decision, and the wait is tearing him apart. And I think he saying that if she keeps him waiting any longer he's going to explode. And maybe in the end she finally decides to be with him. And saves him before he self destructs.

My interpretation is quiet complete I think, though no brief. :P
"Come on, oh my star is fading"
the person he loves gets out of reach, or even his love gets a little less ...
"And i swerve out of control"
... but he can't control it. he's about to make a mistake; not being able to hold back his feeling any longer.
"If i, if I'd only waited."
Maybe he already made a mistake, did something wrong. I think this could also be about that the guy has given the girl some signs of his love...
"Come on, oh my star is fading"
the person he loves gets out of reach, or even his love gets a little less ...
"And i swerve out of control"
... but he can't control it. he's about to make a mistake; not being able to hold back his feeling any longer.
"If i, if I'd only waited."
Maybe he already made a mistake, did something wrong. I think this could also be about that the guy has given the girl some signs of his love that he didn't want to. This could be various things for me.
"I'd not be stuck here in this hole"
He is in a situation where he can't see any chance to get to the girl, because of her feelings, so in order not to hurt her in any way, or his own feelings that are hurt too. Maybe also by the thing that she did to him.
Then it's the first two lines again..
"I swear i waited and waited"
He says that he hid his feelings for such a long time, and still there's no chance in sight to change anything. He is growing desperate because of it..
"I've got to get out of this hole"
He has really has to change the situation which he can't no longer live in.
"But time is on your side"
That's just my interpretation; could be different:
I think here he says that the girl and the guy have already been together or other things have already going on between them.
Most important is that she is not in a hurry for any change between him and her because she doesn't need him like he needs her.
"It's on your side now"
If you see the upper verse like I do, i think this is about that her feelings have changed in a way that she doesn't need him anymore.
But it could also just be a repetition. I think it isn't really important if this is wrong or correct if the girl has had some feelings for him before.
"Not pushing you down and all around"
As his feelings for her are tearing him apart and he doens't know what to do anymore, she hasn't such emotions for him. Thus her relation doens't give her the sorrow and trouble it gives for him.
"No it's no cause of concern"
HE is no cause of concern. And either are his feelings. She doesn't care about him, or not in that way.
"Come on, oh my star is fading
and I see no chance of release"
Again he doesn't see any chance of getting out of this situation (out of this hole) with her. "Release" ... because it's like a cage for him, or a place he can't get away from; he can't escape his feelings.
"And I know, I'm dead on the surface"
This one's a bit hard. I think it's him being inconspiciuous to the outside and acting like everything was okay. In a way hiding what he really feels. Or, it could also be that to the outside he just looks depressed and it only shows his sorrow...
"But I'm screaming underneath"
...while he actually for himself groans for change and "Release".
the same again as before
"Stuck on the end, of this ball and chain"
While she and his love for her are like a prison not to get away from, it's also the thing that's holding him; that keeps him alive.
"I'm on my way back down again"
His desperation grows and change is more and more unlikely.
"Stood on a bridge, tied to the nose"
You could see this metaphorically that he wants to surrender and can't live in this anymore, or even as a matter of fact, that he really wanted to suicide.
"Sick to the stomach"
It's his love. And all the pain that it gives him.
"You can say what you mean, but it won't change a thing"
If she's sorry for him, or she doesn't care. Whatever she does he will still love her. And he can't live with it anymore (upper line).
"I'm sick of the secrets"
She doesn't tell him what she feels like or she has no confidence in him, so she lies about what she does, and what she thinks. He wants to break free of all these self-protcetion mechanisms, get over it and just be with her.
"Stood on the edge, tied to the noose"
This thing brought him to the edge. He didn't want to live anymore (metaphorically or really).
"You came along, and you cut me loose"
She saved him in the end.
You can see this in 2 senses:
Either they get together in the end and it's all good.
Or, what i think is much more likely, in the end he remembered back his love for her and didn't give up, and didn't let go life because of her. She's (or his love for her) giving him everything; The worst sorrow but also the reason for it not to give up.
In the end he still can't get to her but he carries on, because he loves her.
So this is my interpreation of this song. I hope it helped you and you agree with it a bit..
I really love this song. It's my favourite at the moment. The lyrics are just amazing I think.
Rush of blood to the head is their best album.
