For me, this song represents a loss you simply cannot do something about. The loss of a loved one, and there's just no hope of getting that person back into your life. If it's a girlfriend who left, a family member who died, just a person of great importance that simply won't come back for any reason, and all the questions one is usually is left with... "A whisper in the dark, is that you or just my thoughts, wide awake and reaching out.... It's gone so quiet now, could it be i'm farther out, moving faster than the speed of sound...?" Strong words.
