I used to skip over this song all the time while listening to Terria. However, that is very much so no longer the case. This is my second favorite Townsend song, right behind Funeral.
I believe "Tiny Tears" has multiple meanings here. In the song, he says "Where all your hopes and all your cares, they all get out through tiny tears," being tears like a physical injury or opening, not crying. However, this song has a pretty "sad" sound to it, so crying may also be related..
I'm not sure what he's trying to say he's a million miles away from. Maybe he was away from Tracy or someone else important while making Terria. Whoever it is, Devin apparently made that person cry and is very sad about it.
Devin sees and thinks he "needs" someone (or something) in the chanting section of the song (Which is beautiful. The main reason I love this song). However, he resists (or simply cannot succumb to) the temptation to get that someone or something. It sounds like an addiction breaking when he says that he's learned his lesson.
To end the song on a lighter note, Devin states that he's bored now. Maybe life was more exciting wanting/needing/having that thing, and is now boring without that thing.
