i heard this song first with the rest of the album, and this is the first one that really jumped at me. I just loved the sound of it, and then i bothered to look into the lyrics (here at songmeanings.net, of course).
k, just a stab at the possible meaning(s): this is almost about depression. like, from a third person point of view, or sortof examining what happens. the last verse kinda makes me think that, as well as the chorus' "waiting to die" bit.
as for the possible reason/meaning, i agree with the above comment (kudos to honalulu), but just about how people can miss the key beauties of life and just get themselves into a rut, almost like a self fulfilling prophecy. If you say "the world is a depressing place" enough times, you will start to believe that and wind up all "broken down and empty"
