this is definitely a song about isolation. he is lost within himself; lost inside his own mind. i particularly like this song, however, because it describes him becoming comfortable in this state. early on, he is "awkward" and uncomfortable (curtains as hard as steel). but as time passes, the solitude becomes "inconsequential". even though he has no companion, and thus life has no meaning or form (shapeless oceans), he finds clarity in the darkness. in the end, he is no longer afraid of being alone and has no more doubts about his isolated existence.
