i think this song is about love, too. i think you were pretty much right on the ball audiotrance! ..but i think him saying at the end that 'we're all a mess as though we have another' is basically that we're all struggling, whether or not it's with a lover, or unrequited love, or just a need for love. it affects all of us and hurts all of us, no matter what the situation is. i don't think your analysis is far-fetched at all, though. awesome song.
