Death... Of a friend, perhaps a lover although I think it seems a little too composed to be about a lover.
"We grow older, older
A little closer, a little closer"
Older and closer to death - and to the person this song is about.
"And you stay, fallen, fallen
And its too late, its too late, now"
Whilst they grow older, the person who has died remains as they are frozen in memories.
"Here's my debt to you
I wanted to say I breath for you
But you are a world away, a world away"
The person who is still alive feels guilty perhaps... maybe they didn't tell the person how much they meant to them and now they don't have the chance. "I breathe for you" suggest that they are living for the person who has died as well.
"Left in the same walls, the same walls
Can you see them, can you see them"
Person who remains is stuck in the same life as they were before their friend (lover?) and are wondering if the departed can see them (as a spirit or ghost maybe)
"Left on long wall, long wall
They didn't need to, they didn't need to, for me"
drawing a blank on this part. Perhaps the wall is to symbolise life? I'm not sure.
"And I grow older, older
A little closer, a little closer
To you"
To me this backs up my theory of it being about death of a friend/lover...
Meh. Just my interpretation of this song. I do really like this band despite only just having heard them!
