I like to think that this song is about either the very end of a relationship or right after it ended. He's trying to get her to listen to him, so that he can a) break up with her b) try to get it to work out or c) tend to the aftermath of a great thing. She must be ignoring him and pretending like nothing is wrong, while acting completely normal opposed to the fact that she isn't communicating with him. He just wants her to understand what's going on and is getting upset and angry over her reaction.
This song definitely brings tears to my eyes because I was in the same situation, I was the one who just wanted to talk but my now ex just wanted to play the silent card and when I saw him, just pretended like we were fine when we weren't. I know from experience how frustrating that is, and understand why the song picks up to be a louder, sort of angrier tone at the end, because his patience is running thin.
