I am as stunned to be the first person to comment on this track as I am stunned by the track. Please look this group up if you want emotional, powerful music in your life. This song is only part of a greater concept so its meaning is hard to describe here, suffice to say it is an incredibly moving experience within the context of the album Posthumous Silence. I urge you to look it up.
@gmluk You're right, it's an amazing song, from an amazing album.

The album follows a father, whose daughter has committed suicide, and he reads her diary, it deals with his grief, self blame, and depression.

This song is about how he starts to notice light comming back to his world that has been darkened by the grief over his daugther and the depression that followed (Looked around me as I noticed some flowers covering stony space), and how he welcomes it back and wishes for "colours" (light, positivity what ever you would call it) to come back into his life...

Intense sound and lyrics in this song.
I thought it was from the point of view of the daughter. I got the impression that the album runs like: 'father reading diary' - excerpt from diary - father reading diary - etc.
The verse:
'And I start to paint this place as marvelous as it can be
And I paint it colorful to cover all the cracks I see
Draw the lines I should have made so long ago with grateful strokes
Let it fill the place of distrust and impenetrable smoke'
