I have a feeling this is going to be wierd but, this is one of the most powerful song I have ever heard, and probably ever will. It really hits home. This is what I think.
"We stare at broken clocks, the hands don't turn anymore"
This might be referring to someone that has passed on, and their heart doesn't beat anymore.
"The day you lost him, I slowly lost you too
For when he died, he took a part of you"
When someone loses someone that meant alot to them, they might get sent into depression or become "anti social". This may have happened, and the person that has been affected the most may have became more introverted.
"No time for farewells, no chances for goodbyes
No explanations, no fucking reasons why
I watched it eat you up, pieces fallen on the floor"
Sudden death, suicide. The title explains it all.
I think this verse is speaking directly to/about the person that commited suicide. There was no note, explanation or warning that this was going to happen. Oli knew that there was something wrong, and whatever it was, it took over the persons life.
"If only sorrow could build a staircase, our tears would show the way
I would climb my way to Heaven, and bring him back home again"
This is showing the sorrow that Oli has for the unfortunate person who has lost someone. He wants to bring this person back, just to have a friend back. He wants to feel normal. He wants to believe that his sorrow and tears could make his life the way it used to be.
"Death is only a chapter
So let's rip out the pages of yesterday
Death is only a horizon
And I'm ready for my sun... to set"
Death is a chapter in life, craved or not. He obviously wants to let the past go.
Death is a horizon, which only lasts for so long.
This is my interpretation, so its probably not true. Either way, its about suicide and knowing someone that lost a friend and is having a hard time coping with it.
