This song is about a girl trying to save a boy from himself. He keeps pushing her away every time she tries. She is shedding a tear on her aging face. He cannot break down the walls he has built up and constantly is failing her. Nothing she does can put him in his place to recognize the present, he always feels she hates him or is confused.
She tells him constantly almost desperately that she doesn't hate him but he may never listen. This is why she says, "I don't hate you boy, I just want to save you while there's still something left to save."
He says that we never had a chance, this world is too much noise. The world constantly forces him to build his wall up further.
A beautiful song and so relevant. There are so many people out there so trapped in their own walls that they cannot even sustain real relations with people.
@Blunoze I actually disagree that the man in the song is confused. I actually think the song is almost more about the human condition, specifically how all things gradually decay and end. The first few lines about the aging face and tears are the most literal. Basically giving the meaning away. And then the rest of the song reinforces this meaning though the story of a relationship that was once full of love and wonder, but it’s run it’s course. The man and woman’s lives are becoming too different and they can no longer maintain what they had and there...

The man and woman’s lives are becoming too different and they can no longer maintain what they had and there is resentment building as they continue to try and rely on each other but they keep failing to comfort each other. The lines “I don’t hate you boy I just want to save you while there is still something left to save” is a cry of desperation while “I love you girl but I’m not the answer to the questions that you still have” is part of the man’s gradual admission that what they once had is over, but he still loves her. The repetition of “I don’t hate you” near the end of the song followed by “I don’t know” could be the point where the man’s feelings begin to die out, or he realizes they have been for some time, but when the man finally breaks and gives up on the relationship is the line “We never had a choice, this world is too much noise”. Since although neither of them ever wanted to grow apart, it was inevitable that life would eventually wear them down and pull them apart. Hence even love is mortal. It can decay and eventually die, like all things in our lives.
