I don't know about shutting down all emotion, because there are emotiosn in the lyrics still. And he may not have thrown off all human contact either. He just isn't contacting.
THis reminds me now that I've thought about it of myself. THere always is that one day out of the year in which you just freak out a bit and get real mad at everyone and just sit off to the side and watch people go by and you sort of wonder how you can possibly human when everyone you see have a life different than yours and you suddenly seem insignificant in response. And maybe melting away isn't about dying at all or going away, but returning from your cold state to come back into the world.
And even weirder theory I see is something about a hopeless relationship. LIke the narrators been with someone for awhile and they just don't see how they fit into the equation, Couplewise or maybe familywise. And before you ever get the chance you let time slip by too much.
And maybe I should stop thinking about this song so much.
