The song is obviously about a car crash throughout. Possibly about drunk driving.
Starts with a couple driving along after picking up a bottle of bourbon and are either drinking and driving or heading somewhere to drink it.
"And the bourbon's full at this point
Crack the seal and spin the top away
Yeah bourbon's full at this point
Come on baby, erase it with me"
During the drinking or before getting where they're going, they're in an accident which gets us into the chorus. "A cacophony of a car crash" refers to the mix of sounds that a heard including the screeching of tires, crushing metal, breaking glass, screams, etc. A cacophony is defined as, "A harsh, discordant mixture of sounds" The last chorus line refers to the silence after a crash from the vehicle stopping and the shock of what happened.
After the crash the person who's perspective is written in the song is trying to keep the injured person, the girlfriend presumably, awake and responding to him to prevent death or a coma. During the accident the bottle of bourbon broke and has poured out into the street.
"I need your eyes to stay connected
Keep on looking into mine
Don't move, don't speak, don't speak
Everything's gonna be fine
And the bourbons on pavement
Shattered bottle in the front seat
And it's broken on the pavement
Come on baby, don't slip away"
The person is very seriously injured and the first person/story teller is trying to get help after noticing. It seems that the injured person has gone into a coma. The story teller is waiting for beckoning them to wake up and saying they'll wait until then.
She's bleeding out, call an ambulance
These shaking hands are soaking wet (unsure of the last two words in this line)
I'll be by your bedside, when you come to
Come to me
Saw a video of the band playing this acoustically and Jake said the song is how relationships can be like car crashes some times. The parallels are totally there: Crazy damaging event (car crash) followed by recovery times and really caring for someone.
