From what I can see, considering the history of the band and the roots of this album itself, this song has a lot to do with regrets in life. Squandering your time instead of living, sacrificing others and their emotions for your own selfishness and then thinking back about what you did. It's both a bitter heartbreak and a want for what you left behind.
It's coming to terms that people do what they want, and there's nothing you can do about that. You won't always make amends or get revenge, but it's also a lament that things should have been different
