While reading over the lyrics, I will say that I did shed tears... I think this song definitely is about loosing someone, with an emphasis on death. But more importantly, its about how impossible it is to escape the constant reminder of the him or her. How you can never really forget them. And I think after someone leaves us, at first we want to try and move on like nothing ever happened. But you can't merely let someone go, even after years and year. You're still reminded of them, especially in dreams like Dreyer says.... you kind of just remember someone gone in a dream, and when you wake up, you think everything's fine and the same again, but then it all comes back to haunt you, and you remember all the little things you were trying to forget. I think in the end, can't forget about the people you've loved and lost, but just try and preserve them.
also, i think that the "story" (i find all la dispute songs to be both stories within themselves c:) is about the idea of communication with a lost loved. the girl that left him is trying to keep him from forgetting her, so she tries to be present in everything that he sees (sunlight, trees, etc. )
i think this is really relevant, i lost someone very important to me almost 3 years ago, but there are still times it kinda settles in that she's never coming back. it hurts to think about it, but i just try and think that maybe she's looking down and seeing me grow up. i cant bring her back but i can preserve her energy and her spirt. overall i love la dispute and their songs really get you thinking about life... thank you <3
