For some strange reason I think that the song is about someone with a memory problem (ie. alzheimers) or someone just losing something - its more of a father/son relationship with the son writing/sing the song. He (the father) has put himself away or is keeping everyone that he loves dear away "cutting them at their feet" because he's losing them (and can't see their faces a more because the memories are fading). And well to make a long story short the song both of them are telling each other to "stop" and notice that he's not the only one losing something.

Well that my interpretation.
