This song to me is a failing relationship that keeps him up at night. He can't stop thinking, maybe I've been wasting my time, being 'simply diluted'- just trying to believe it will work out, but yet he can't stop thinking about it because when we get into relationships, we develop feelings that don't just go away. 'Softly, stab my evil dreams, Faster, help me fall asleep' is his struggle to let her go, his evil dreams that he can work it out but he wants them 'stabbed' because he knows that are false hopes, he wants to stop dreaming. "From time to time we fall in line" -sometimes the relationship seems to be working, "But now it seems that we are blind" but now it occurs to him that they aren't meant for each other.
