I think this song is about a man who finds a woman dying, and is unable to help her, no matter how much he wants to.
"Running for her life
The dark rain from her eyes still falls"
The girl is running from her killer, crying because she dousn't want to die.
"Breathtaking butterfly
Chose a dark day to live"
Butterflys don't live very long, some species only live for about 1 day. There comparing the girl to a butterfly, saying that shes beutiful, but "chose a dark day to live", in other words, to be in this place where she's going to die/ get killed.
"Save one breath for me
A Loner longing for
The cadence of her last breath"
I think it means that a boy found her dying, and knows he can't save her, so instead he'll just stay there with her, to comfort her while she dies.
"Why do I miss someone
I never met, with bated breath I lay
Seawinds brought her to me
A butterfly, mere one-day miracle of life
And all the poetry in the world
Finally makes sense to me"
He dousn't know this girl, but he still misses her when she dies. Again hill stay with her, or lay with her with "bated breath", hoping that she won't dye, but knowing that she will. I don't know about the seawinds part, and i'm not sure if she even sayas that, to me it sounds like "Sirens brought her to me", in which case it would mean he was drawn to her, as if by magic. Then the butterfly thing again, he thinks shes extremely beutiful, but she won't live. He thinks he loves her, "All the poetry in the world finally makes sense to me"
"Save one death for me
A Loner longing for
The cadence of her last breath"
He knows she's going to die, and he wants to be there when she dies, he wants to hear the "Cadence of her last breath"
"Put to rest all that`s not life
Drink for beauty and fill my blank page"
She dies, putting to rest "all that's not life."
I think the "Drink for beauty" part is metaphorical, he metaphorically drinks in her beauty, in other words, by being near her as she dies, he feels like he's captured some of her beauty, her essence, in himself, and uses it for poetry, "Fill my blank page"
"Sometimes a dream turns into a dream"
This line has many interpretations, i think it means that a dream for reality, a dream that's more of a wish, or the boy's wish that the girl will live, can turn into a dream, something completely impossible, or the girl's death.
Hope that helps ;)
