I'm a writer, so I saw this song as a relationship between my characters Luca and Lucas.
"Just frame the halves and call them brothers."
They took one person, who has two sides, and said "Why not just make them brothers?"
"Find their fathers and their mothers, if you remember who they are."
The man with the two sides can't remember his family, so he can't tell his "brother" about his parents.
"Over and over they call us their friends. Can't we find something else to pretend?"
The "brothers" are called a friend by a woman they love, but she doesn't want to be anymore than that.
"We'll be out in the street before anyone knows that we're gone."
They're going to leave because they feel no one loves them because of the man having two sides.
"Just frame the halves and call them a whole, and chip at the bricks and fill up your pockets with the pieces of the wall that you stole."
The brothers want to be one person, not wanting to become a "wall" for the other's happiness. They try to chip away at the "wall", which is the bad times each "brother" went through, but they don't want to let that go, so they keep it with them.
"The hunt is on, everyone's chasing. Everyone's chasing a shot. A shot rings out, nobody wants it. Nobody wants it to stop!"
The people around the two-sided man finally get fed up with the "brothers", and try to kill him. They run, but somebody shoots him fatally. The brothers realize that they're going to die, and don't want the moment of shock to end.
The last verse sounds a little sentimental. I see it as the "brother" sharing their last moments with each other, finally remembering their parents, then passing away.
