the lyrics, as well as this song's tune, have a very hypnotic tone to them (the repetition of phrases and the slow, melodic lull of gray's voice)
for me the song is about that moment when life overwhelms you and, in this specific instance, the moment you realize someone you love is slipping away from you (be it from death or lost ties etc)
i feel like he's reached that moment where everything around him is moving in slow motion, like he's stuck and doesn't know what to do.
he imagines the walls having eyes (think of those horror movies where everything is exaggerated and scary in the dark), like everything is judging/staring at him
before escaping to the outdoors where he lets the snow fall around him, almost like just that tiny pleasure has led him to accepting the loss of his friend/loved one
