For me, this is someone seeing a friend or loved one standing on the edge of depression, and wanting to help ("I'll put you to bed you can / Let it all go" and "I'll give you the time you deserve").
Seeing them fighting the misery with everything they've got ("you've been playing too rough lately").
Burning all the energy they've got left ("you burn too bright"), about to crash ("you're a tragedy starting to happen").
Saying to the people who want to help them that they'll be okay in time ("that dust is gonna settle your nerves").
I could go on like that with every line, but these are the lines I feel strongest about. This is such a beautiful song...
