He's talking about a girl who he fell in love with who he finally realized he was never going to be good enough for. "empty hallways, and you can't get to me. open doorways but your still searching for your key. and i can't open the ears for which i sing, so i'll just pass along and maybe you'll start to hear me"...i think means things that were so easy and obvious, she never saw and were too busy searching for something that would help...when all she needed to do was listen to him. he felt alone and like he tryed so hard to hold on when she gave up and was unsatisfied after he put so much effort forth. "so you try to satisfy the hours" as in you make the best of what's going on now, but all together, what do you really feel about it? "Satisfaction seems to be the key that turns the air we breathe. It brings us now so confidently crawling on our knees" as is all she cared about was what she could get from him. and look what satisfaction can do to people...it brings them on their knees, down to such a low level. that's my interpretation.
