I think this song is about a relationship.

'maybe they'll come back again maybe they're all gone one day you'll find me sending their message strong.'

I think this refers to a 'break up'- you know, the kind where Brad and Britney break up, get back together, break up, get back together, ad nauseum.

'under your feet the city falls down so far the ground is sky we're under zenith again, it's healthy if not for long.'

The guy feels absolutely shitty about how they're always breaking up, because his girlfriend is the one always doing it. Once again, the couple is 'under zenith' (the highest point), and perhaps it healthy to get away from each other for a while, but once again they're get back together and continue to unstable relationship.

'much more than seven days and you've slipped to deep much stronger than sympathy, let your best friend pull back that leash.'

The guy starts getting very depressed after a week, perhaps because it's unusual to break that long or that's the way he is. But his best friend tries to help him to break up with his girlfriend for good. His best friend yanks on the leash his girlfriend has him on, trying to snap the guy into action.

'sitting by a frozen man, someone somewhere has to cry were under zenith again let the cycle run we won't die.'

The guy is 'frozen' because he doesn't seem to realize the damage the relationship is doing to him. So someone, a friend perhaps, has to cry out the reality of the situation. But he's convinced she'll take him back, that their relationship won't 'die'.

'I love how you let me fall under but not to far I love how you let me fall only now I see where we are hold me.'

I think this refers to the guy's psyche- he secretly thrives on being treated like crap from some reason.
