OK...first post here.
no one can know exactly what the writer of the song was thinking but we sure as hell can guess. :D
I think that it is about a relationship. not necessarily a girlfriend boyfriend or husband wife deal but it is a possibility.
ill start at the begining... . ~~I know you can't recall anything at all or why were're standing here.
The day you figure out your words had crumbled just below your feet.~~
this could symbolize one of the pple in the relationship being in shock and not remembering...or possibly not even wanting to remember since what that person obviously found out were bad...her "words" that crumbled...possibly 'i love you' maybe?...that was torn apart by what was found out.
2nd...~~This is how a mountain gathers, purposely directed shadows.
This sinking ship has information that will tear us a part~~...the mountain could be symbol for all the bad things piling up wich would also help u understand the next part in the verse...the sinking ship has information...the ship may be the relationship he's trying to save...the information could be the reason he purposly directed the shadows....the shadows were meant to hide regrets from his near past that the other person would not like..therefor it may tear the relationship apart.
3rd...~~Along the way we learn things too hard.
Whisper out the way to stop my heart.
The things you used to say before the day I used to care at all.
It's in the fingertips, I caught you looking; hazing down on me~~....learning things too hard...of course...must mean we learn things the hard way but sometimes that not the only way we can learn them...therefor the "hard way" might be too hard sometimes.
the wisper out the way to stop my heart.....really confused me here but if i had to guess id say.. it has to do with a relationship being broken through words that could kill him.
im really soz but the last part here throws me wayy off...id appreciate it if someone would explain it...or even expand on my theory...its up for edits
