i think the speaker is suspisious that his girlfriend is cheating on him but he isnt certian and has been trying to convince himself otherwise. thats what the sunglasses are about, by wearing them in the dark he chooses to make a situation that is difficult to understand extra difficult, even though its not necessary. or that he is turning a blind eye.

-I wear my sunglasses at night ... so I can Watch you weave then breath your story lines.

if i hide what i can see from myself and from you i will listen to your stories, you wont suspect i know the truth and i wont put an end to them

-And I wear my sunglasses at night so I can ... Keep track of the visions in my eyes.

the sunglasses help me keep the story alive because they prevent me from seeing the truth and they give me the chance to gloss over problems and make excuses for your behavior.

  • While she's deceiving me it cuts my security. Has she got control of me?

    i dont wether it is she or i who keeps allowing me to be fooles by this.

  • I turn to her and say: Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades oh no.

    why do you hurt me like this? why do you stab me like this? (also i kind of think saying switch the blade he means that he usually has the power, in this case he uses it to trick himself, but she could turn that power against him)

Don't masquerade with the guy in shades oh no I can't believe it! You got it made with the guy in shades oh no. And I wear my sunglasses at night so I car ` Forget my name while you collect your claim so I can And I wear my sunglasses at night so I can See the light that's right before my eyes. so I can While she's deceiving me it cuts my security

It's about a Police State that forces people to wear their sunglasses at night.
