It seems to me that the Heart Collector is a metaphor for one who seeks to fill an empty void through meaningless relationships and sex. You become lost in your age-old routine and yet continue anyways (Just believe when you can't believe anymore), decieving yourself to the truth of your actions, that your 'words fall out like fire'.
The song begins describing 'the actor without tears' which shows a man heartbroken. Through long years, the lines of self control have blurred (as dark rivers have carved them, and we all know that water erodes rock and could quite easily erode these lines of self control). However, the actor fears being alone despite what has happened and with words and lies, seeks meaningless relatinoships and sex to fill the void using such words as "I am you and we are not afraid". Through each relationship or sexual encounter he believes that it'll be the end to his pain (Nevermore to feel the pain), yet it always returns as 'the words fall out like fire). But at that point in his life, all he can do is believe when you can't believe anymore.
We will not be here for long as the moment passes, the act is done and the temporary fix to this void is gone and the Heart Collector sings his song again...
Perhaps one day, it goes too far. He realises how fruitless his persuit is and is unable to hide his shame, as all the outlets are gone and the corrupt eclectic takes his fatal blow.
@Chaos_Seer can’t believe in 16 years nobody decided to respond or at least upvote . This seems like a pretty good summation of what other people were saying just with evidence . Thank you.
