Sounds to me like it's about soldiers going off to war.
"On the cusp of vessel eighteen,
A look of terror in our eyes,
The moonlight licked the face of danger,
Innocence made us like soldiers,
Untouchable and golden,
A quilt of darkness dotted with our teardrops..."
They're heading off for war, where their innocence will soon be lost and probably filled with sadness at the prospect of what/who they're leaving behind, hense the "teardrops" on the "quilt of darkness".
"I know you're sad i'm leaving,
So this may hurt a little,
But girl, look from your window late tonight...
You think my heart is frozen,
While yours is slowly grieving,
You see the boy you love start burning in the sky."
Sung to the girl he loves that he's leaving behind. He's telling her not to worry and that, no matter what happens, he still loves her and always will.
I think that's enough to explain what I think, but if you look through the rest of the lyrics you can probably draw the same conclusions, because this is long enough already. Haha. :)
