Lol, I think Lemon Demon songs have no real meaning, and therefore make you think, and then we come up with meaning, and it's there to show you that you can find meaning in anything. LOL.
But as for this song ...
It's like he's talking to the match in contemplation one day ... like, you bring me light and happiness, you know that darkness and loneliness isn't good ... and then he goes on about how nothing lasts forever, and how the sun'll come up and there'll be light and happiness, but he'll never understand why the sun goes down at the end of the day ... and this is stretching a little, and it's my mind being odd, but it's like he's been through a break up (like most songs are about, lol) and he's talking about how all good things come to an end (LOL other song), and perhaps the matches are his relationship, or something, and the sun is everyone else in a relationship ... he sees so many other happy relationships whilst he doesn't have his ... and when it's him and his relationship with whomever, everyone else disappears and it's just them. He doesn't understand why everything happy always ends -- "I'll never understand why it disappears after every day."
And then perhaps he goes insane for no reason, other than the fact that he's always surrounded by everyone else who's happy whilst he's not ... and kills himself? With a nail in the head ... and the planet like clay, new thoughts, and the world unwinding ... learning everything ... because he's dying? Like, life flashing before your eyes, and sudden realisations, and bright lights and stuff, and he's like, "Now I know why the sun goes down (why everything good must end) and I thank you, because without you leaving me I wouldn't have decided to suicide" or something ...
