its about unrequited love... "staying up later and i'm leaving her never" "I'm just a question knowing my answer hoping I'm right, its 4 in the morning I'm wrong again" hes losing sleep over someone... "I'm tired of fighting (for her), so I'm demolished (crushed) - that's the way / some make exhaustion (depression) a mode of expression and that's their way (of coping) sounds like he got hung up on someone, "firefighters put out my fires took all of my matches" and the whole thing with Harrly Lunte... its a metaphor, hes harry lunte and she's catfish... she moved on and he didnt. As for the Chinatown reference, I think it means hes playing detective loooking for truth when hes too naive to beleive he already knows it.
