"A sudden shift (a sudden shift)
I turned the world up on its end"
A sudden change in life, his actions made the whole world go wild!
"Incompetence (incompetence)
Shut eyes are closed to what's within"
The inability to do something successfully usually brings a person down and not want to start again.
"I want to see them
I want to make them understand
I want to breathe in
What's there to win? What's there to win?"
He is saying he wants the world (or a group of people) to know what it's like to step into his shoes, yet doesn't feel like anything would accomplished by it.
I found the open door
And still I'm wanting more
The one I'm waiting for
I'll walk with you once more (once more)
He found what he was looking for, but feels like it's not enough. It's obviously being in a relationship with a girl, but being obsessed with wanting more he realizes he can't go on with her and tells her that this will be the last time they see each other.
"Just look at what you've started
Just look at what you've done
Just look at what you've started
You're not the only one"
Not sure who is speaking at this point: the guy, girl, or a friend of the guy. But I assume it's the guy who dumped the girl. He's talking/thinking to himself, about regretting his decision he made and possibly wants to desperately see her again.
"The promises (the promises)
All turn to red and live again
Your skin will shed (your skin will shed)
Just like the visions in your head"
Talking about the promises he made but has broke them yet brings them back up .
Skin will shed? gruesome. Vision in your head? possibly the girl's visions. (idk)
Really? No Inteprets on this song? Wow...
