Maybe the lead singer dated the subject of the song too. I definitely did.

To me it's about a relationship in which the girl is more devote to her friends than the relationship itself. Meanwhile the guy in the relationship has no friends, is a relative isolate and due to this fact is seen to be strange and is eventually alienated. Meanwhile, the song's lyrics suggest that eventually all of the girl's friends with whom she is so close fade away one by one becoming nothing once again. He who is nothing, had nothing before and had nothing after already knows this problem too well as in the past he has had friends that drift away and realizes that in the end everyone is alone.
