Considering the story of the album, this last track to me suggests an internal struggle for the narrator. They are fighting to overcome the false reality they have created to deal with their issues (in this case unreciprocated love).
The change goes from their internal struggle to a lighter mood where they have finally broken free and now living their life again (through the depression or at least bleakness of the situation).
However the heaviness returns near the end of the track, warning the narrator that they can easy return to the darkness and their prior sense of helplessness ... as the Sinister Silence patiently awaits your return.
To me the whole alter world the narrator creates, the themes of light and dark, and the internal struggle (i.e. in their own world there are still those that will oppose him) really encompass the feelings of depression for me (and trying to overcome it).
