I think the song is about something more than just lack of communication in a relationship. I think by the final masquerade he means the huge volcanic eruption that happened around 535 AD which left the whole world with drought, floods, famine, plague and the collapse of ancient civilizations around the world. this catastrophe made the skies around the world darkend for two years.
"But we both keep on waiting for something we won't find" could refer to the sun and a good moment in the relationship like it used to like
" The light on the horizon was brighter yesterday
With shadows floating over, the scars begin to fade" could mean that because this catastrophe the problems that they had dont mean as much any more now that they are failing together.
"We said it was forever, but then it slipped away" the sky was always there and we dont expect it to go away but like this blossoming relationship i was covered by darkness.
"Standing at the end of the final masquerade
The final masquerade"this refers to them trying to act like nothing is wrong covering it up and "dancing " but they know its the last time. this could also be the fact that every one thought is was the end of the world but they had to keep going and stand at the end of the final masquerade.
"All I ever wanted the secrets that you keep
All you ever wanted the truth I couldn't speak" this refers to how they both see the lack of commutation as the other persons fault. Coincidentally this is what every one thought when the sun disappeared.
"And we both keep on waiting for what we left behind" this could mean thy are still wait for the sun to come back in stead of adapting to this new life. and the other person is also the sun.
with the evidence in place he is really comparing the loss of a love as the end of the world that will eventually fade away and be completely forgotten
