There's definately a direct reference to lucid dreaming in the chorus. Lucid dreaming is when one becomes aware that they are dreaming.
"Last night I turned around
and thought I saw myself turning
Inside the strangest dream"
When one realizes they are dreaming, they often spin in circles in attempt to reach a new destination in their dream.
Very interesting if you've ever experienced a lucid dream before, or if you've ever researched it. Lucidity ties in closely with the song Glass and the Ghost Children aswell, where the man speaking begins to realize his thoughts are the voice of God. In doing this he becomes lucid in reality and therefore starts to believe he's insane.
"Our age of the hours...."
Reference to the ideal that time is ultimately an illusion, and that we all know this to be true in moments of transcence. Begging god awake, begging ourselves awake.
It can seem that the world around you is ugly and misinformed and these feelings of seperation can manifest in your dreams as visions of apocalypse and flame.
Sometimes you find this grand light, this feeling of wholeness and unity with another person. You will taste, run, love with this light until your last breath. Even if the light and the flame are the same, then you'll run to it, as to finally kill the source of serperation between the two.

I'll play this one for her.
This song is us.
