Reading the lyrics now it sounds like it could be about a break up or something like that ("scratching apologies to you too late too little") that happened as a result of the singer's poor behavior / decisions. That's probably why he's "not feeling human anymore" and "half-connected all the time".
But I always looked at it another way. It was crippling in high school but I still experience some of it to this day - and that is, I was always really hard on myself. Like, oh my god, I can't believe I said that. That was so stupid. Or I can't believe I acted so lame in gym class. That girl could definitely tell I'm a loser. Etc. etc. That kind of thing. And maybe it's a bit different nowadays but I still tend to second guess every thing I do and say. Every night.
The song is somber yet at the same time it's caressing, loving. I get subtle joyous vibes from this beneath the sadness. It's like, despite the fact I second guess everything I do, despite the fact that I fuck up every day (whether real, or as in my case, imagined) I am a human being. And beautiful just like this song.
