Surprisingly, this song isn’t about love. During their student years, before Elliot Minor became the band they are today, Alex stayed in a small flat, where creepy stuff kept happening. Later, Alex found out that a chef had killed himself in the same room where all the terrible stuff was happening. “Parallel Worlds” comes from the fact that it was like nowhere on earth when you were in this room. Also the lack of specific wording of what this things in makes it seem a little eerie, for example if “Something supernatural” became “a big scary chef ghost”, it would lose all the effect of the song, which personally I believe is that it’s a weird place, scary and encourages us to think more. And if we think about the song more, we are more likely to remember it. Also we can see some paranoia among the song, like the place is affecting his life on a drastic basis.
People first assumed this song was about some form of love, but during one of the Webisodes they made, they true meaning was revealed. Like with Jessica, you have to get close to the song to know what it means, but when you get there it all becomes cleared.
This meaning is strongly linked to the video. It’s set in an old room, where draws shoot open, and paper is flying about. The set appears quite old, to give the illusion of a haunting; the theme of the song

That's the true meaning.
