I like that you can read the "half-full glass" as either alcoholism or a flicker of optimism, considering the rest of this song is pretty bleak. Can anybody shed some light on it? It's awfully, fantastically vague. I feel like it's two people, not necessarily a couple, being reunited after ten years and realising that everything they knew has sort of dissipated and closed down. They wish they could return to that, there's that 'dangerous hope', but they know that they're just going to crash and burn.

Also, I think "screening" should be "screaming".
