I believe it has to do with suicide and the attempted suicide of another. It starts out saying "I just can't escape" being a common phrase said by people considering suicide. Then saying "It's like you are here with me now", means he is talking to another person who is with him on the same level. The words he said were something about a suicide pact, and they fade out because of it being in the past.
Since his friend has "been away" He is no longer there because he successfully killed himself, another lyric would be "Down in the dirt with your blood on my hands" Meaning he is dead and the friend couldn't stop him from killing himself. "I know you're coming back down" Means that he is in heaven and is coming back down to earth. "I blacked out" Meaning that he attempted suicide perhaps by swallowing too many pills where he blacked out and then came to realization with life and its good side. Then it says "You were too good for this world then you left it, Everything turned red" Meaning that he died and there was blood, perhaps from cutting or a gun, not necessarily a big part to the lyric.
It makes sense that "You don't even know what's beyond you" could be for suicide, because they are not thinking of the future, just wanting to end the pain now. Then "So I guess you had to leave. You were born with wings. But you were never happy until the angel's sing" He left life, he was born with a great opportunity and a saint to his friend, but he never could find happiness until he died and went up to heaven.
"Like the feeling beside you, with the bottle beside you. You both end up empty like an angel beside you" The feeling is the drug putting them to peace and relaxing them, but eventually the bottle is empty, it is considered an angel because it is taking them out of their misery but when its empty it is now gone. "I look to the heaven... I looked inside myself, I felt my heart in my chest. He looked up as he passed out, he felt his heart beating and found himself as he blacked out.
"Come lay beside me, it's only what I've seen, it's just one dream" Meaning that they are both doing it, and they believe only they are having this pain/problem, and they only believe that they are one person in the world and see no point to continuing. "Tell my baby I love her, and I wish I could hold her, it's hard to say goodbye when you know that it's over" He planned this out and knows its going to happen but sees them for the last time and doesn't know how to say goodbye.
That is what I got from the song, I heard a lyric from a Trivium song "Put the gun to my head and dream of the color red" Then hearing the reference to red in this song that I already thought was about suicide made me think about it further.
