Although this song is actually by Ugly Casanova, like ModestM said, I'll gladly share what I believe to be the meaning of this song.
I feel like it's a huge contridiction.
Even at the start-I don't need to see, I don't see how you see out of your window. I don't need to see, I'll paint mine black. There's obviously been some severed ties here, and he wants things back as they were, but at the same time he doesn't. And he knows they can't ever be.
This contridiction is especially apparent during the bridge when he says "Black glass (you can't see out of black glass) dirt based soap (don't we wash dirt off with soap? what's the use in washing with soap that's dirt based) tell yourself what you know (tell yourself what you already know!?)
problems are what a problem is. And it's true. It's a realization of detachment and useless attempts in resolving.
