This is quite possibly my favourite riverside song, which is interesting because rapid eye movement would have to be their weakest album. This makes me think of dreams, for those that have a strong attachment to their dreams, sleep and dreams can serve as wonderful and effective "panic rooms" to escape from reality, forget their problems etc.

I really don't think this has anything to do with Silent Hill. The hole he is peering through is the peephole in his dorm or apartment door. And he is looking out in hopes of catching a glimpse of the girl he lusts for. The stuff about problems sleeping is just because he is a troubled man.
