i think this songs about a couple with problems and its frustrating because they know they love eachother and they know they can't work but they keeep trying but it only makes things worse and theres nothing that that he can do anymore but watch it fall apart and whoever this song is about probably doesnt care as much as him because there "eyes bleed dry" which im guessing means they're not crying

thats just my guesss, but anywaysss AMAZING song. i love it.

The main message: have the inner strength to 'cast it out' - the past if it is past (memories) and the present if need be - relationships often end way after they are over, and in the meantime, you can feel more alone than if you were actually alone and single.

Except in this case, you're fully reminded that you feel alone because the continuous presence of the person you chose to end the very feeling, who is seemingly holding the key to the freedom needed to eventually feel not-alone. It doesn't have to exist in and outside of every relationship. But if it's wrong, have the strength to cast it out.
