After a few years of listening to this band i found they can be both cryptic and upfront with their music. I used to think this song was about a failed relationship but now i'm leaning towards the inability to forget a lost love.
He starts off on a heavier note saying we all live our lives alone searching for someone to share them with. The next verse shows he's haunted the memories of a lost love.
He can't get her out of his head even though he "locked
all these windows fairly tight" trying to forget and move on but no matter how hard she still works his way into his head after "she starts turning off the lights".
In the next verse he "sees her in the corner of his eye" "dressed in white". It shows that he doesn't even have to fixate the memory of her to remember how beautiful and perfect she is dressed in white, a color associated with purity. He drowns himself in his sorrows fixating on her, hoping she find her way back to him.
"tell me that you could see it" rings throughout song almost like hes trying to convince himself shes not just a delusion. Even though she's merely a memory "a ghost whose skin is porcelain" shows he sees her as beautiful as ever did.
He fixates on her until he's sure he can see her ghostly figure glance at him from down a hall. That glance could mean so many things to him.
The last verse is my favorite.
she says she lonely and he won't allow it
asking those same questions until either she silences him with a kiss or by leaving
