"There are beads that wrap
Around your knees that crackle into the dark
Like a walk in the park like a hole in your head
Like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead This time"
this part is talking about the feeling you get when you realize you're actually broken up and not going to get back together.
"we ride roller coasters into the ocean
We feel no emotion as we spiral down to the world"
talking about the attitude some people have towards life. people are often too apathetic to stop themselves from subconcious self-destruction. they just keep doing themselves wrong until things just break, and they dont feel bad or upset until then.
"and I guess it's worth your time
Because there's some lives you live
And some you leave behind
It gets hard to explain"
here, he's saying how you might think after it's over that your love had been wasted that whole time (you know, cause now it's all over), but remember that it was worthwhile, because it's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.
"Leave me alone, for you know this isn't the first time
In fact this is twice in a row "
they've broken up before. this is the second time, and seems like the final time.
"That the angels have slipped through our landslide
And filled up our garden with snow
And I don't wish to taste of your insides
Or to call out your name through my phone "
i dont know, that angel part seems too happy for my theory, but the last two lines there sound like denial. like he doesnt want her back. or atleast wants to believe he doesnt. she may be trying to say she wants to get back together, but he's saying he doesnt want to get into all that again.
"For the glory boys at your bedside will love you
As long as you're something to own "
there are other boys he thinks she could easily get. he thinks, though, that they dont love her like he did/does, but that they'd be better for her(and him) since they caused eachother such emotional pain before
i dont know, the last verse is probably about how he actually wants to get back together too (even though he maybe knows deep down that it's bad for them)
I agree completely with this interpretation. I also find the angels' actions impish and playful. It reminds me of how Greek Gods liked to toy with mortals.

i think this song is about a breakup.
