Hmm, the meaning of this song is 'grey', uncertain to me, however as i listened to it in my car, I pondered the thought that it could be a spirtual song, about jesus possibly. I don't know their religion so this is purely speculation: "Though we tried to stay the same It never leaves And when it changes it is still a waiting game"

Generally, one to achieve salvation needs to be one with christ, or accept them into their hearts, souls etc, so they become 'one' or the same. Jesus supposedly is with you always, and when, if he leaves, he still waits to be taken to somewhere, (an afterlife).

"I wait for a lonely breath I wait to surface from this death Wait for the light to come And take away these images I get In my head"

It may be a bit of a stretch, but lonely signifies one, or the only, and lonely breath to me means his last breath. Surface from this death, rise above, to heaven. Wait for the light to come, often when encountered with death, people see beams of light coming from heaven. Take away these images i get in my head; he wants to not have to imagine anymore, so he can experience it for himself, not what people draw, or what people say, but wants to see heaven for himself.

"More than ever I need to feel you More than ever I see the real you"

First half relates to physical life, I need to feel you, like they are one, he needs him to be in his heart.

Second half relates to the spirtual life, and now hes in heaven and sees Jesus

"You are me A worst disaster would be waking up alone Now we're free We're drifting out Like all the ones we didn't know I wait for a silent tear I wait for things to disappear Wait for the ground to stop moving underneath my only fear If I lose you I don't know"

I think its You and Me, Our worst disaster, but ok aside from that Waking up alone would mean, they are not one, he is no longer 'saved' and another one of Jesus's children would not go to heaven, hence it is a disaster for them both.

Now we're free We're drifting out Like all the ones we didn't know

They're free from their bodies, drifting in the wind, like everyone that had died before them that they didnt get to meet,know.

"I wait for a silent tear I wait for things to disappear Wait for the ground to stop moving underneath my only fear If I lose you I don't know" Silent tear refers to death, all is silent when someone dies, and a tear is shed from their loved ones. Everything essentially 'dissappears' from your life, the ground stops moving because he is no longer walking on ground;

He does not know his future if he is not saved.

Everything, everything We've had Out of sight out of mind Given that What I see when I dream Hurts like hell and back

In the end everything he has means nothing, and everything that he could have had hurts like 'hell' and back, which hints at something :P
