Well, ok, here's my take on the lyrics.
"The night sky looks like blood."
"I am not an I am"
This is one of VAST's more mysterious songs to me. It seems almost Vampiric, not in a literal sense, but metaphorically. Like the night turns him into something/someone else. He becomes a different person "I am not an I am." "My touch does not effect you," makes me think that she is either sleeping or dead. I take that to be a sexual idea as well. He is coming on to her in a sexual way while she is sleeping because he is overcome with the sexual desire. He's "love-drunk." He can't say yes or no to this feeling, which to me means that he feels like he has no control over himself. Almost like this desire or passion is acting through him. He's just a vessel for this emotion/feeling.
