I've always seen this song as a warning against temptation and addiction. At first, the girl (addiction/temptation) and her world (the room) is quiet, private and safe and his life (the night) is just starting. "THE ROOM IS SMALL, THE ROOM IS BRIGHT, HER HAIR IS BLACK, THE BED IS WHITE AND THE NIGHT IS ALWAYS YOUNG" In this time in his life he is invincible. Later he sees himself from the outside and he's watching his former self disappear. She is sucking him down into a world of addiction and this world is no longer safe. It's blood red and isolated from everything and everyone else. And his youthful resistance to all of this (the night) is gone. After falling too long in this world his former self and former life will never return to what it once was. And he sees all of this happening to him from the outside, but he is falling and he can't stop himself from succumbing to his addiction.
