I think this song is about God. "You know that I love you/You know I don't care." God loves us, but for all practical intents and purposes, God doesn't care. "You know that I see you/You know I'm not there." God sees right into our souls, sees us completely, yet to all human concerns, you may as well say that god doesn't exist. He is invisible and silent and uncaring. I think even the spareness of the music reflects this sense of aloneness in a deafeningly silent universe.
