The specter of the person she lost is a pilot flame to her very being. She feels the hope of each new day being better but is still lost in the sorrow of her lost, because she refuses to believe that these can be better times when that person is gone. She illustrates this with her description of the tears. The widows are toasting, and one raises her glass and vows to find the truth again. But the next line refuses to believe that you can find the truth again. It goes faster than you. Faster than gravity, which paints the picture of it going while you attempt to move. The truth also serves as a synonym for love, because you see the truth when you fall in love, but it always slips away.The chorus ends with the hopeful note of "better times are coming still". The specter will move like a pilot flame and drive them on to better times.
It's a song about loss.
