This song is about human emotion, how we process emotion. The music video also follows these themes, and I highly suggest you watch it.
It's about grief. "This last week, I slept 8 hours total, I barely sleep" not being able to sleep out of grief, thoughts, sorrow. This person is mourning a loved one, as indicated by the chorus "I didn't show up to your funeral" however, what he did do? He showed up to their house. Perhaps he forgot they died, the brain in denial, unable to process this loss. Or maybe he didn't want to go to the funeral because that's not how he wanted to remember his friend. "God called you to fulfill a vacancy" yet another theme pertaining to the death of a loved one. The vacancy being in heaven.
