As a few others have said, this song is about the terrible experience you go through on the final days of a loved one passing away. The lyrics make it obvious what this song is about. However, until you go through the experience of losing someone you truly and deeply love; you cannot understand the amazing depth of the lyrics.
Since the overall meaning has been described in great detail by others, I wanted to concentrate on just one part of the lyrics regarding what this song is about:
"We can chase the dark together,
If you go then so will I"
That pretty much sums up what you will feel if someone you truly love passes away slowly in front of your eyes. You feel like you cant live without them and feel as if it would be better to die with them then to go on living without them. You would give anything if it meant they would live. All the money you have, your house, job and if given a choice you would trade your life if it meant they would live. This is a truly dark and depressing song that is hauntingly beautiful.
