I see this song as being about the subject killing himself.
I envision him climbing up the stairs to the roof of a building while trying to find a reason not to kill himself "Ascending slowly with hopes of finding one small moment of clarity I escape the blackness cast upon me. "
And then talking about his plan on jumping, with the one who led him to this decision:
"Immobile lights will fly tonight.
We'll watch them pass together as we part the rising sky."
The immobile lights would be the lights in all the buildings surrounding him in the city. And as he falls, theyll fly by him.
"Tightly bound we'll chase the ground, I won't die without you.
Descending quickly with hopes of sharing all the things you've shared with me, I'll chase the digital eye's below me.
Through them you'll see as I fall with digital omniscient eyes capturing me one last time for you.
Tomorrow you will see. "
To me, this is him as he jumps, killing himself and, figuratively, the person who led him to this "tightly bound, we'll chase the ground" - by falling from above down towards the ground.
The digital eyes would be cameras, perhaps the news, capturing his fall.
"tomorrow you will see
When you see me soaring and the lights are screaming, you'll forget me not."
This is talking about how the other person will find out in the news and it will be so traumatic that the person won't be able to forget and it will kill a piece of them inside, thereby dying, in a sense, together with the jumper.
"Descending quickly with hopes of sharing all the things you've shared with me" I'm not too sure what i think of this line, but I think it that his suicide is payback, in that, he hopes to cause the 2nd person as much greif as they caused him in leading him to the suicide.
