i think this song is about a girl who still likes a guy, but he doesn't like her back anymore, so she has to repress her feelings for him. hence, "she can't afford to come off hot [in love] because she's too cold to shiver [repressing all she feels]".
the walls that watch her and break her fall are her peers.
the shadows refer to other people like the girl who had to repress their feelings, because she's empty of emotions and in the song they are described as "empty" like broken hearts.
the painted faces refer to the facade everyone, even the girl puts on, to hide their true emotions. and "broken hearts are never true" refers again to hiding the pain of breaking up with a loved one.
i'm not positive on who the "you" in this song might be. i thought possibly the person the girl liked, but then why would all the shadows be crawling over them? unless all the shadows liked the same person?
@thelivingfreak I'm with you on this one. There are so many ways one could interpret their lyrics. Occasionally, I interpret these as speaking to me.

I think the shadows are crawling all over this person (me) because they have been in the dark for a long time. A broken heart. A broken body. Everything. Not much left to give.
