I just love this song, IMO the best of the ones that leaked until now. (Although thats probably just me xD)
The Lyrics are pretty obvios, der narrator and his group ( gang / band / friends) are searching for one of them, who got lossed.
He probably left because he is searching for an answer / direction in life, doesn't know where to go, etc.
The crown of thorns seems to be a sign that he's searching his way in faith and religion, although I prefer interpreting lyrics in a more metaphorical way, sure it could stand for religion, but for me its just a metaphor that says he is searching for something he can believe in, a way to go in live.
The Rest of the Song is about how they search and miss him, remeber the times, and just plea for him to come back.
They don't know where he went and just want to tell him that they want him to come back.
They're searching for him, but feel they aren't the same as before, the hole he left left them all as strangers, they're broken and stand apart.
The Chorus probably is about how they fixed their old flaws, that made him go.
"Our Silence is broken" could mean they spoke out about something they kept quiet about befor.
"All is forgiven" means they are one group again, everything that happened is fixed, they just want to reunite.
The only thing that still is missing is him coming back, and they don't know where he went and just wish / pray / plea for him to come back home, and don't know what else they can do except searching and hoping.
PS: Just wrote this like I had it on my mind, probably a bid confused, but I hope you can understand the main idea.
i dont think that the song is about chris leaving although i like the interpretation. i find that when i listen to the song that it's about estranged family members. a father and son maybe. i get this reasoning through several line of the song for example: (ill do the chorus last)

the first verse makes me think that the son is spiteful towards his fathers beliefs and marchs off to find his own beliefs the hard way. the tainted crown of thorns makes me think that he was normally a good child and he did something outrageous before leaving...

the second verse makes me think of the helplessness that a parent feels while searching for their son as well as the "hunger" for the presence of the missing piece of their heart.
the next bit makes me think of the hardships of being on your own as a young man without the support of your family and the growing feeling of separation.
then it describes that earlier in life the father and son were of the same opinion and stood together or so it seemed because as the son grew older his ideals changed but every time he voiced his opinion it was laughed at and he went along with it hiding his true feelings until.
later the father sees his son at a distance and hesitates not knowing what to say because its been so long and the son keeps walking not even noticing the father was there. and the father was hoping for god to give him a sign.
then they meet at a party or something, perhaps a grandparents anniversary, and they avoid each other. not sure about the swallow the sun erase the sky line maybe the father's or son's or boths feelings about the meeting. then the parents reach out with an invitation to dinner maybe and the son refuses. and then he moves away out of the area again and all contact is lost again.
the chorus is the dad searching for his son and hoping that the son will come home. the dad feels terrible that the son has left and blames himself for not being more accepting of his sons ideals. he wants to speak with his son to try and mend the wound in their relationship. and he keeps wanting to be able to tell his son "it's alright" and i forgive you

I agree with Dronesfan I think it's about one of tim's daughters running away and the despair he felt when he didn't know where they were
