Seconded, I believe this song is about when we don't talk to strangers because we hear so much about 'stranger danger' that we're scared of what could happen. However, because we don't talk to anyone, 'the hole you impose upon your life' is the hole that a stranger is supposed to fill, somebody new, 'someone to whom you can cling'.
Thinking about it, Sleepsong could be about how we're too scared to enter a relationship because of 'the dangers they might bring', ie, heartbreak, cheating, yet our 'waking world have slowly come undone' because of how we 'go to sleep on your own' and we're terrified of 'being alone'. It's a cycle of angst, we're scared to meet any 'strangers' yet we're scared of 'being alone'.
It's a no-win scenario, basically a song telling us to have a relationship before we 'come undone' from our 'last resort' of 'being alone'.
