To me the guy is in a struggle or conflict with himself over a girl. His dreams of insanity make it clear that he is losing his mind. I think he doesn't exactly know what to do with the issue he's facing. He is extremely lost and insecure. Think about 'You Found Me' by The Fray. The first line in that song says that the guy "found God". In 'Free Fall Without a Parachute', the guy is "six feet beneath the Earth." Maybe he's lost in that he doesn't see God in his life. I think that as far as the “feelings” in both songs are concerned, one is mainly of relief and appreciation while the other is mainly of desperation since the guy doesn't truly know what he wants to do and is desperate for answers–in his dreams he is a murderer, but in reality, who is he and what is he doing? Nurturing crude thoughts while choosing to stay in a hopeless relationship so as not to hurt anyone's feelings?
Well let's look at the title, 'Free Fall Without a Parachute.' That's sheer suicide. Because it's all in his head, he's killing himself on the inside. We can tell he's experiencing pain. Maybe that five-year old he shot was himself, a reflection of who he used to be, innocent and naive. Â Remember dreams are roughly what we imagine in our heads. So sum it all together and we can assume the song is saying that there is an answer somewhere, we just have to find someone who has it and talk to them. Or we could just stop beating around the bush, let go and move on with our lives...You know, stop wasting time.
