I think that rather this song being specifically about a car accident or drug overdose - its about a girl suffering from depression and drug abuse. I believe the story of this song is that she dies from cutting rather than od or car crash. Parkway Drive have exploited these issues such as depression and self harm in other songs (romance is dead for instance). the 'sirens' song suggests that it is the siren of an ambulance and is to do with paramedics as mentioned earlier.
"...Beyond the neon existance, her face is grey, and everything she longs for turns to black" - this is saying that beneath the smile she wears and the mental wall she has put up that this girl is really depressed, everything she longs for turns to black.
"the drugs do little vindication" - she is taking some form of drug (probably illegal) and this is tied in with the depression. she's taking drugs because her life is messed up and shes trying to escape from it, but the "chemicals bring little vindication". "white lines lace every vein" is talking about scars from cutting.
When the song starts the breakdown ("and does it make you sick?") its talking to the person about the act of cutting themselves, 'does it make you feel sick that you are doing this to yourself?
"Can you hear me, is she conscious?" said as someone was saying it at the scene where she has been found. someone found such as a bystander, paramedic or maybe even one of the boys from parkway though i doubt it. the girl is found unconscious under a streetlight setting, bleeding away. the result of extreme self harm.
"does it make you feel beautiful?" - its asking if cutting makes the person feel beautiful. this line brings a sick kind of feeling to the song.
"bloodshed under the streetlight" shes bleeding to death, outside under a street light.
"oh god we've got a bleeder here" - said by someone like a paramedic who is at the scene. bleeder meaning that they are bleeding themselves, cut wrists or what not.
"heartbreak under the street light" - talking about the girls depression and how that this is the last time she is going to have a broken heart incident which ends with cutting.
"follow the sirens song..." talking about the paramedics and stuff "searching the night" and trying to save people.
"dead by first light, they cant wipe the blood from her eyes" - the paramedics/doctors can't save her, she lost too much blood and she dies before sunrise.
Yeah that is my take on the song and what i personally would 'like' it to mean. however if you look it in the context of completely about paramedics - "chemicals do little vindication and white lines lace every vein" could mean that the drugs that they are giving her to keep her alive aren't really working and that drips are everywhere in her arms (lacing veins) as they try to keep her alive.
Yeah its an awesome song, The breakdown is wicked, even chunkier when u know the lyrics =)
