It is known that the underlying concept of this album is the loss of the Cavanagh brothers mother, so I think that this song is about dwelling in the sorrow and misery of her death. Instead of trying to feel better and work through the pain, you surrender yourself to it.
"Don't look to far" means you refuse to think about the future and accept that things might get better one day.
"If I begin to feel lighter
Hold me down
And I’ll be yours for evermore"
God bless this mess I’m in"
This means he is clinging onto the memory of his mother at the expense of his own life, because it is actually the easiest thing to do.
However, when he does eventually try to move on ("I sever the line that divides ... I sever between you and I"), he immediately wants to "bring the pain right back again".
In my view this song appears to have a connection with Parisian Moonlight, which comes from the perspective of his mother, telling him to "be free of all the pain".
