On a broad stance, this song is about when a person comes to the realization that all their dreams, fantasies, hopes, and beliefs are nothing more than dreams, fantasies, hopes, and beliefs. That everything that they believed in is false. Let that sink in for a bit, and you'll really get the meaning of the song.
