This is a beautiful song.
I think it is about several different people.
The first person has a problem with their self-image, and has to try their hardest not to hate themselves. The moon is a reference to what they want to look like. They could also have a self harm problem, which I inferred from the phrase 'sharpening stone', but it could just be another reference to the mirror.
The second person is going through a lot of inner turmoil, and is very angry with themselves and the world.
The other person always feels in the shadows of other people, feeling very alone, with no friends, ready to collapse at any moment, not knowing when they will no longer be able to continue with things.
The last person seems to have the 'answer' to everything, and is awake in the metaphorical sense.
I love this song, and I think the lyrics are just beautiful.
