this may seem a little out there, but i think this is a song about a guy who kills himself. picture this... a guy whos friend/girlfriend/relative dies. hes a mess so he jumps off a bridge. its winter and their is a motorcade going past. someone sees him floating there and tells the police.
''The earth is warm next to my ear
Insects noise is all that I hear
A magic trick makes the world disappear
The skies are dark, they're dark but they're clear''
this bit is like saying that (hes been pulled out of the water) and after freezing in the water the ground is warm, the insects noise is people talking because their words are so small and pointless. a magic trick being the jump, and the skies refers to even tho everything was so so so hard for him(dark) its now over and he can see through it to everything else(clear).
''A distant motorcade and suddenly there's joy
The snow and tickertape blurs all my senses numb
It's like the finish line where everything just ends
The crack of radios seems close enough to touch ''
everyone is happy around him(motorcade) its winter(snow) the finish line is death and the crack of the radios is the police radio things.
''Cold water, cleaning my wounds
A side parade, with a single balloon
I'm done with this, I'm counting to ten
Blue as seas, running to them''
cold water is the river cleaning away all his pain and stress, its over now and all his problems are running into the sea.
''I feel like I am watching everything from space
And in a minute I hear my name and I wake
I think the finish line's a good place we could start
Take a deep breath, take in all that you could want''
space could mean heaven hearing his name could be at his funeral? the finish line (death) is where he can find his friend/girlfriend/relative and they get another chance at whatever they had before. take a deep breath could be about getting ready to start like calming yourself before making a speech or something. taking in all you want could be him not knowing if his friend/girlfriend/relative will want to see him or anything.
just a (really really detailed) idea which could be totally wrong but thats how i see it.
:) good song
You have very good reasoning and I would have to agree with you, perhaps the man doesn't die though and the voice he hears is while lying in bed...

I don't think a lot of people realize that maybe the whole CD is just one big story, A story of two lovers, madly in love but something happens and it all falls apart...He misses her terribly, he tries like hell to get her to understand his feelings but perhaps she doesn't reciprocate and he just gets tired of everything...
