Since nobody's given an interpretation, this is a great song from the perspective of a peeper. A next door neighbor who spies through a peephole to watch the life of the person next door. It seems the peeper starts to fixate on the neighbor.
"And when you're crying
I see your tears fall down
They're making oceans
That in I
Sink and drown"
He empathizes with the neighbor and over time, feels as though he's actually a part of their life, even though he's just a creepy peeper.
"I feel I know you
I feel I know you well
I saw you go through
I saw you go through hell
I was there when you
First let euphoria
Spill on your bed sheets
I could feel
What you felt"
I love this part. I believe "euphoria" spilled on the bed sheets refers to masturbation of sex. An organism basically and from "I could feel what you felt" it suggests that the peeper probably wanked to this. What a great, subtle way to describe it, honestly great lyrics.
I think the peeper realizes how creepy his actions are as it says:
"Do you feel used?
Well I would too, I would too"
Yet he justifies it with:
"Oh,And would you use me
Like I did you?
Oh you would too"
In the end, the neighbor moves away, perhaps without ever realizing the person next door's intimate knowledge of them, and the peeper is left alone with his "empty peephole".
@samanthajp I totally agree! and when it gets to the part
"And when you're crying
I hear your shaky breath
And when you're lying
I hear your heart confess" Its like after the neighbor watches them they go up to them the next day and ask them if they're ok. So if they don't know the neighbor well, they'd say that they're fine, but he'd know that they're lying
