I'm, first few lines he's obviously complimenting a woman. It literally made him clasps. Nest you can tell it's someone who he knew before, he could be collapsing because it was someone he was over, and now they're back. And he knows he'll give right back into her. And next, you can tell that it's consuming his life all over again. And some part of him knows that she's doing this deliberately. "Teach me not to dream deeply" he's saying tell him how to not get his hopes up, because they'll be knocked down. Next he says "I haven't left here for days. My panic keeps me awake." A few AFI songs have to do with is sleeping disorder(s) So what he's feeling is so bad he can't sleep. "He told me I should had know" next another man had been trying to tell him... "That he'd hated the way I'd grown to love soft lies." Here this person wanted Davey to love him, not the lying girl that was hurting him. "She lied" he loved lies - he loved her. The man tried to tell Davey that she was no good and that he loved him, but he wouldn't listen. "Do you miss her, like I missed you?" He could be asking if there's and love Davey could give him, because he still loves him. Or, it could be that he's asking if she's worth it. And that he doesn't love him anymore so it's being used as a past tense. Then the chorus comes around and now he's panicking because he figured out that he was right. And he can't fix it. "Slowly I swallowed your fears, for all of those years? How could you let them consume me?" He's talking to the girl again. Asking her why'd she do this to him when all he'd ever do was help her. "Teach me how you sleep so sweetly" could be him asking how she could still sleep at night after what she did. Or, she hurt him so bad, that his insomnia is coming back and he can't sleep, but it's not fair that she can when Davey doesn't deserve to be kept awake with this pain. Of course, this girls, could be a metaphor for something. Possibly cutting himself. I highly doubt it's drugs. And maybe the guy was telling him he needs to stop because he loves him. And in the beginning, he could be having a relapse. Because she/it is coming back into his life. That's how I see it. Thanks for reading, I know it's long. :)
