I've been listening to this song nonstop lately. It's beautiful.
Having seen the interview lendmeyourbrain mentioned, I can see that it's from the girl's point of view.
I'm not going to talk about the meaning. It's been said and it's accurate.
But the imagery. I can't get the image of two robots on either side of a room from one another. Male and female. In love, but without batteries, only alive because of the plugs in their backs plugged into opposite corners.
Projecting myself into it a little, the male one is unable to sleep, meanwhile the female has given up trying to reach him by the end of the first chorus. Eventually, the male one keeps dreaming while awake of being with her. By the final chorus, I imagine the male one checking his lack of a battery, backing up to the wall, and making a sprint for the girl, unplugging himself.
Finally, having his plug torn out, his bodily functions start shutting down. His legs begin to give way halfway across the room, and he falls into her arms. The end of the chorus he's in her arms, and slowly closes his eyes, dead.
Just thought it was interesting and worthy of sharing.

Kyhan: i really really love that description. it fits the song quite perfectly, and that's probably what i'll think of from now on :)
