This is such a deep song, I agree with a lot of what fifidill said. I think the general message in this song is a couple who have been in a relationship for so long that even though they aren't working out, it seems alien to be apart from eachother. They are drifting apart but are both emotionally reliant on eachother. But the girl is trying to convince the boy that they aren't good for eachother. This is my interpretation.
"Throw me in the landfill, Don't think about the consequences.
Throw me in the water, Don't think about the choices that you make.
Throw me in the water, Don't think about the splash i will create.
Leave me at the altar, Knowing all the things you've just escaped."
-The singer is telling her long-term lover to just leave her already, that his life will be so much better if he just goes. She also tells him not to think of what will become of her.
"Push me out to sea.
On the little boat that you made out, of the evergreen.
That you helped your father cut away."
-She is still rambling on about more ways he could (should) leave her.
"Leave me on the tracks, to wait until the morning train arrives.
Don't you dare look back. Walk away catch up with the sunrise."
-This I think is very deep. She again tells him to leave her, But this time she tells him not to look back, as in do not have any regrets.She goes on to say "Catch up with the sunrise" I believe this is metaphorical, the sunrise signifying a better life and emotional well-being. that if he leaves her, he will 'catch up' with a better life.
"This is torturous.
The electricity between both of us.
This is dangerous.
'Cause I want you so much, but I hate your guts, I hate you."
-Here she is just emphasizing how wrong their relationship has become, And her conflicting emotions of wanting him, but knowing they are better apart.
"So leave me in the cold.
Wait until the snow covers me up.
So I cannot move.
So i'm just embedded in the frost."
-She again tells him to leave her, but i think the third line is metaphorical for being embedded in someones memory, as in, she can't be an actual part of his life, but he can keep her in his memory.
"Then leave me in the rain.
Wait until my clothes cling to my frame.
Wipe away your tear stains.
Thought you said, you didn't feel pain."
-Again, telling him to leave her. I think the "Wait until my clothes cling to my frame" part is her pleading him not to leave so quickly, to wait and make sure she is alright without him. The next two lines are her telling him to be ok, but i think the last line has some hostility to it. Like they got in a fight and he said 'I would be fine without you' and this is her proving 'this is hard for you too man'.
Then the chorus repeats.
This is just my interpretation but it seems like many of you agree.
