I think this song is all about Conor growing up. And in the beggining it's talking about depression when he says "now and again...the view is accurate" that whole line, because that's how it is when you are depressed, a lot of the time you see things much worse than what they really are, but a lot of the time YOU know how you should feel. He's also talking about the solitude of his life and the routine that it's become, and how he's resorted to drinking to pass the time.
The Second half about the dream, is a metaphor for his leaving home. Because it's talking about his family and a bridge, which relates to the support that his family gave him, and then when it 'disappears' it is equivalent to him leaving home, and moving into what he was singing about in the first half. I also think this section is about his 'fame'. Because he calls himself a star, hanging for the starving eyes, which may mean all the fans that 'starve' to be in his position.
The end of it is just him trying to shove aside the dream, and how it isn't really a dream, it's a 'feeling' which is inside of him, which IS him.
That's just my take on it, i know i'm probably wrong, but hey, what the hell is SongMeanings for anyways?
