I think this song is about Steven Wilson trying to reach someone who has lost their way.
"The other half is somewhere else. A play in the dark, whines like dogs." I don't know about this part, could just be some unsettling imagery. He is in a bad mood and the play in the park whines like dogs, it's annoying him.
"I am restless, I am lost. Time freezes all. Flawless eyes." He feels restless and lost without this person. Time sort of freezes as he pictures this person.
"The rope you used to tie your soul, dreams enter plains, scatter remains." This person tied their soul down with complacency. Their dreams entered plains (flat, boring land, in other words no more dreams) and her soul's remains are scattered.
"I reach for you, denied your touch. Snow starts to glide, I confide." He reaches for her but cannot touch her. I don't why the snow is gliding but he confides all of this with the listener.
