I think this song is about waiting around for something that is perfect and it (obviously) not ever coming around. Be it a person, a thing, a feeling, what have you. It's about finding perfection and not getting it. The speaker is waiting patiently and keeps thinking whatever he's seeking will come, but it never does, and he ends up wasting away while waiting for it. That's the begining anyway. Then he starts to realize he's been decieved, realizing all the promises were lies. "So dies all innocence"... he feels spoiled and jaded, no longer innocent and expectant of whatever the desired object was. Just my take on it.
