I think this song is about having an emotional meltdown. the narrator is confused about what he wants out of his relationship (don't run away, but don't follow me in, don't wait for me, but don't say it's the end). He doesn't know what he wants to do so he stays at home and lets his nervous anxiety get even worse by not doing anything (living in a dark tower, getting darker by the hour). From my personal experiences with anxiety, I know that it's almost impossible for anyone to convince you to snap out of it - it's something that you have to get over yourself, and the narrator realizes this (nothing can wake me from myself, not you or no one else). It is the absolute worst feeling in the world, a feeling of helplessness and fear mixed together.
