I think this song can be interpretated as someone dealing with depression and loss.
"I found you at the water, at first you were my father, but now I love you like a brother".
Someone took their life, and now the person whom sings is saying that now he understand: the person sees him as an equal.
"I know I will find you there" - he is thinking about death and knowing that he will find this person in death.
"Come a little closer then you'll see, things are not always what they seem to be" - This part is about how you aproach mental illness to understand the situattion and the feeling.
"ten thousand people stand alone now..." this part is about how so many people fight mental illness and how the sun is going away, but it will rise again. HOw people suffer because of mental illness but still can be okay someday.
"Do you understand what you've been seeing?.... Do you understand what you've been dreamming?" is about how things we see everyday are not what they are: people smile, people laugh, but they can still be dealing with their hard times. and the question that makes you think about your dreams, how people dealing with depression can "dream" of dying or vanish. But do we understand our dreams?
I started to think about how this song can be interpretated for mental illness because in a day of aknowlege mental illness and remind about life prevention I will sing with a band this song.
