It's about being in someones life who has their own demons. After a while life has little meaning to them and death in the only thing they feel ends and releases them from it. Going through crazy times and in the morning things still aren't right like they should be, its not over. (i.e. slept in the park...) The days when she was better are gone, Things get worse and worse, till she can't be reached by words. He wonders were's the light, when will morning happen and the nightmare will be over? There's just enough of her mind left to decide to die. The last night when she dies everything broke loose it was all bad. He realizes that all that all the dreams they had were a lie because they'll never happen. He's a liar too he must have felt he could save her. If that's all that's left to them he might as well send his life to the fire.Now that she's dead everyone has their idea of why she did what she did. He knows what really happened and they don't, can't understand. But he's not sure if her choice was right or wrong.
The chorus is the same as what swhite says. The noises that make all the voices. Everything that takes him back to all the messed up times and his feelings of hopelessness, the drowning. He can't get it to stop. She thinks that she can save him by dying and she feels like she's already dead in her mind.
I love The Delgados songs even this one but I hate this so much. This is my life and it was my sister's. Her death solved nothing but at least she's not hurt or confused anymore. But I am more than I ever was sticking to her on wild goose chases, and trying to reason and comfort so much, loosing parts of me in the end. Never have I hated relating to a Delgados song so much.
I almost hate them for this song.
