jcovarruon has this meaning pretty much nailed down to my mind - with the exception of Verses 3 & 4.
I think the singer is referring to finding his friend in the process of attempting suicide in Verse 3.
"To what it is that you are going through, my boy
I let you dry" - possible reference to alcohol here, 'drying out'
"The signs were clear that you were not going anywhere, anywhere" - failed suicide attempt
"Save for a falling down, save for a falling down" - the rope is cut
"Everything's going high" - sensation as he falls to the ground
Verse 4 definitely refers to a memory of the same person, but after a successful suicide attempt after they were found trying to hang themselves - "dangling, hovering."
Either way, it's a tragically beautiful song and one open to many interpretations - this is just one of them.
"not going anywhere" refers to a sense of being stuck, ineffective, not being able to move forward. a loss of hope... he is giving up.
"everythings going high" = his world is going to pieces.
you are far too literal.
