It's a song about a sad phone call. Yes, it can be a break up, but it could be a warning about someone's death too. It fits.
Line by line (except for the last two lines)
Water broken voice, saturates a microphone
(The person who receives the phone call is crying)
Into a receiver with no tongue
(and this same person is speechless because of the tears)
Offering, little to what it knows
(and talks too little)
Then a silence so heavy, broken hearts fall from throats
(both are brokenhearted)
When heaven is remembered but never seen
(Memories of something -the relationship that is over- or someone -who died- that can't be seen again)
Through hearts shaped like kaleidoscopes
(memories from the heart like images from a kaleidoscope)
Eternally, the sun has set to mourning
(The sun is mourning - someone's death or a brekup)
And contoured are the backgrounds
On the canvas to which our lives are painted
