In my persepective this song is about someone who is "alseep" on themselves; they've been poisoned into a state of affectation. No matter what you do, you cannot wake them to who they are. They are so absorbed by how easy it has become to lead their life that they are beyond help. It is easier for them to hide their real self in the past. The sad part though, is that they were beautiful in your eyes, so much that you foolishly tried to "kiss" them (not literally). They were important to you, not necessarily because you were in love with them, but because of the connection, the feeling of ka-tet, and your instinct was to "cure" them.
