I actually think the title tells it all. The first verse is just an indication of Chibi's "regular life". The chorus and the title add up to something we probably all know: you have a dream and do not want to leave it, also because you know you will never be able to return to the world of that particular dream, hence: "I'm looking for a place I'll never see again". "A night turns to a day": not only night turns to day, but also the passing of time since the dream - from the rest of the night to an entire day (24 hours). "A street I've never walked on" - sleepwalking: she walked it during her dream, not in real life - "I was never here / Just a faint reflection": only the dream-me was there, a faint reflection of the real me. The next line emphasises the passage of time, then "a second of affection" seems to imply a bit more about the nature of the dream that the person in the song is so desperate to return to: there was affection - love, tenderness, that kind of thing. Perhaps meeting their soulmate! (Cf. Rammstein's Stirb nicht vor mir / Don't die before I do.) The second verse I believe should be interpreted exactly as it is sung: "Faking. There's nothing here worth taking." (I.e. instead of "Faking / There's nothing here worth taking", implying the person is faking that there's nothing worth taking.) The real life is all fake, there is nothing of real value in it for the I-person. The reflection fading on the wall seems to be a reference to the faint reflection in the dream: the memory of the dream is fading, losing its vividness. "Not the fairest one of all": fits in quite nicely with "reflection" but seems to be mainly important as a way to state the I-person is not particularly attractive (if ever any line would make it clear song lyrics are not to be considered to be connected to the singer, this would be it ;-) ). So in real life, there is not that huge degree of affection that is mentioned in the chorus. The "street I've never walked on" could also be interpreted as a course of action that was never taken to get to that moment of affection - that probably was cut short to just a second by the sudden ending of the dream.
A very sad situation indeed that would fit TBM nicely and that adds a lot of emotional depth to the song because of its recognisability. Perhaps some of the readers of this post will also be able to enjoy the song even more after reading this; if so, I am happy to have been able to help this great band gain more interest. If not, I hope nobody feels offended by my presenting my interpretation.
