I believe it's about letting go of someone, as in a relationship. From what I've experienced, it seems like a perfect explanation for the meaning of this song.

As I'm leaving A change comes on my eyes These streets persuading me With mumbles strange goodbyes

And through the water Through the rain To the soul of everything Throw my heart out On the stones And I'm almost gone

"Throw my heart out on the stones, and I'm almost gone." It seems to me like a relationship that went to waste, or faded.

Ah, it's so heavy. So tragic. So beautiful.
