As above states, just about sums things up. Personal meaning though: apart from being one of the sexiest songs ever (rhythmical, soft, sensual - and no, I came to this conclusion well before 9.5 weeks highjacked it for their own ends). The words suggested to me the general isolation of us all in this universe. We are surrounded by people and sound and stimulus, even to the point of intrusiveness. But in reality, none of these things pierces the skin of our soul and we don't really know anyone or anything well at all, only the sound of ourselves. It's a very sad song.
