I think this song is basically about two people and how they deal with their problems and rely on each other.
From the first few stanzas, it sounds as if they basically use drinking and living freely to escape from their problems.
"Maybe it seems so strange but we don't even stress at all 'cause we've go poison in our well" - It seems strange that they aren't falling apart because of all the problems in their life but they stay together because of the "poison" which helps them to ignore their problems.
This is probably really off but the stanza that says "burst into flames...etc." makes me think of a show and the energy and emotion behind it. Despite the darkness the music brings light and the raw energy and emotion is similar to a raging fire. It's a beautiful experience.
The next stanza refers to using alcohol to escape from pain and reality.
"Celebrate the way the night hides scars" basically supports the main idea of living life fully and ignoring problems which is easier to do at night. In the "daytime", reality hits you.
The next stanza is like, don't think, just do. Get lost in the emotion. "Together we'll turn to ashes. Drown me in the flame." This shows how they rely on each other and it could symbolize that by ignoring their problems, they realize it could lead to their own destruction, or it could be much more simple than that haha. I feel it also means that forms of self destruction can feel good to escape from problems.
"What if these demons..." I feel this is saying: "What if the problems keep coming? Well that's ok because we have each other and the way you can destroy everything is beautiful.
Next stanza - someone help me; I've destroyed so much but I can't destroy my problems. I can't save you. I can't save anyone.
Next stanza - Like the way you say you need me. I know you've tried to hide your pain but you can't do that forever.
I personally can't hear the lyrics in parentheses but they were in the lyrics booklet. But anyway, I think this part refers to them being out of time, they can no longer run from their problems. No one is there for them but "I'll be the only light"
So that was probably way off from what the writer intended it to mean because it's kinda wack but that's what I got from it haha. Regardless, I think this song is absolutely beautiful and full of emotion as are most of their songs.
Now for what this song means to me:
