When I go over the lyrics, I can clearly see how he associates the 'dark' with depression like in the lines;
"I will be saved for one whole day
Until the Sun makes the hills it's grave"
It's easy to think that maybe he means that the dark brings with it suicidal thoughts, and he is safe as long as the sun is shining, but when I read the lyrics again and again, I began to wonder whether the song has anything to do with the 'physical' night and day at all.
My interpretation of this song is how he is trying to be at peace with himself, because we aren't 'what we like' we're 'double sided', we're just two-faced humans, with the night and day just the different sides of us.
I was also dwelling on the lines - 'My prayers schizophrenic' because i couldn't make out whether he was actually talking about actual 'prayer' per se, because sometimes lyrics are like codes, you have to decipher them, they are not always what they seem, but I think it's just about the formality of a prayer, about how we are 'semi automatic' without actually praying because of our belief, but rather because it makes us feel better about ourselves.
The part which made me tear up though, was the part about his friend-'hope' Who 'leaves a lot' I guess it's just how we cling to hope, because it's our only way to make it out of this vicious cycle of depression alive, but he goes away, too often and we're just left alone, in the 'darkness'.
I hope this makes sense to whoever reads this, this is purely MY interpretation and i don't want to offend anybody who thinks otherwise.
