I couldn't agree more with laurelinwyntre. I have a long interpretation for this song. He's talking about fans and how they sometimes smother him trying to tell him about their problems and he has to (cut through) the crowds to get where he wants to go."Cutting through just ike champagne petals sprinkled over the blackest sea urban stars will shine, electric, they keep on calling". He doesn't believe that he has much time left on earth "No, everything won't be alright for me tomorrow.Tomorrow may not come" He tries to find some time for himself to think about his life "Ascending slowly with hopes of finding one small moment of clarity I escape the blackness cast upon me." While he's doing this, people continue to take his pictures, which to him, is like being killed "I still can't see as you bind me, murder me from miles away." He decides to end his life "I will finish this today for you.Tomorrow means nothing." In the chorus, I'm guessing that he jumps off a high tower "These breathtaking heights lend sparkling sights but we won't fall forever." People will continue to take pictures of him even while he's ending his life. "Immobile lights will fly tonight." refers to the flash of the cameras. "I won't die without you." his fans will stay with him and watch his death. In the third verse, I think he's describing the fall. "Descending quickly with hopes of sharing all the things you've shared with me", he is sharing the thoughts of suicide that some of his fans once shared with him."I'll chase the digital eye's below me." He is chasing the people while falling, to let them get a taste of what he once suffered from. He ends the song saying that people will never forget him. Classic.
