Does it seem to anyone other than me that "loaded line" and his reference to "white" may be some obscure reference to cocaine? That was what first occurred to me when listening to it. I'm still trying to work out why he would use that reference for potential shrug
All in all I think the song is mostly about allowing life to pass you by, waiting for tomorrow to do all the things you have left to do and continously putting if off until all the days have slipped away and you are dying. The reference to dementia seems to be referring to the growing older.
By saying "My mind keeps slipping back into the past
I hope someday I can get it back"
I think he may be saying that he finally realizes all the opportunities he let slip by and he wishes he could reverse the clock and go back to do all those things.
And the last verse about the train pulling away is most definitely a reference to death.
It makes sense that this song would be about missed chances and life ending. With Conor's struggles with family, depression and drugs and alcohol it is no wonder that he may have regrets about missing out on certain things in life...
