Don't think anyone has put this theory out there yet but to me the lyrics seem to be talking about a relationship where the girl (because lead singer is a guy) has cheated on here boyfriend/husband.... hence the name "it's nice to know you work alone." working alone standing for committing the cheating act... Also significant in "water marks on a pillow case"... all the crying done after he found out. I also think they are trying to move past the cheating and continue with the relationship but it just is not working. Disembody the infection... Redesigning a connection... overriding the obsession. To me the guy just cant get past what has happened which leads to "all the grace is gone" etc... Finally at the end with the line "reaching the serene" I think it is saying he has finally decided it will not work and is going to or has moved on...

Absolutely agree with you Ipool03!
