Dead star shine
Light up the sky
I'm all out of breath
My walls are closing in
Days go by
Give me a sign
Come back to the end
The shepherd of the damned"
I think this is about someone who is in a state of stress and depression because the walls of stress are closing in and there's no way out. They are suffocating and screaming to their close friend/gf/bf (star shine) for help in lighting the tunnel out of their depression. But the friend has been lost in their own problems and both are screaming for each other for help. Days go by and they still are in this state of suffocation.
"I can feel you falling away
No longer the lost
No longer the same
And I can see you starting to break
I'll keep you alive
If you show me the way
Forever - and ever
the scars will remain"
They know the one who can lead them out of their current state. He sees her falling away, pushing him away from her. No longer the same people they were. He gives her a choice to let him keep her afloat while she gets herself back in the boat if she'll help him back into the boat, even through the pain they inflicted on one another
"I'm falling apart
Leave me here forever in the dark"
Or she has the choice to go on her own... to climb in the boat and leave him.
"Daylight dies
Blackout the sky
Does anyone care?
Is anybody there?
Take this life
Empty inside
I'm already dead
I'll rise to fall again"
His world is crashing in and it feels like his screams aren't being heard. He's numb (empty inside), already dead, and he keeps fighting only to fail and go back down into the suffocating stress.
"God help me I've come undone
Out of the light of the sun"
This is an obvious cry to God to help him through his troubles and to help her with her troubles. They need each other
"Give me a sign
There's something buried in the words
Give me a sign
Your tears are adding to the flood"
He's crying out to her to give him the sign that will lead him out. And he knows that there is a deeper meaning than just the words she speaks. He sees through the words and to the hints she is leaving in them. Her tears are adding to the flood of his tears and they are either going to work, or she is going to leave him in the dark. But the scars of their pain will stay eternal.
