To the center of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you
Moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you
In a room without a window in the corner I found truth
In the shadowplay acting out your own death, knowing no more
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor
And with cold steel, odor on their bodies made a move to connect
I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left
I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let them use you for their own ends
To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you
To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you
Moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you
In a room without a window in the corner I found truth
In the shadowplay acting out your own death, knowing no more
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor
And with cold steel, odor on their bodies made a move to connect
I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left
I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let them use you for their own ends
To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you
To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you

I think the first part is about the lost of fate, the second part is about finding a way out, and the last is about just that the end.
explanation makes the most sense and works nicely. I like it. Oh well. Who knows for sure? Great song.
I like a) best but add my own interpretation: this is a song about waiting and worrying about someone who has been killed in a car wreck. The narrator returns to the "center of the city" where she was killed hoping and praying that she will return to him. The "assassins" are grouped in the four lanes of traffic, cold steel is the car, and the bodies that move to connect is the accident. The "shadowplay" is the interplay of evil forces, in this case her impending tragic fate. The crowd are the morbid onlookers, and the narrator is upset that they left while he alone stayed and wept.
Where all roads meet is death.
The depths of the ocean are the darkness in his heart: profound depression.
Moving through the silence is to to be dreaming. He continues waiting in the hopes that he is dreaming.
To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you: contemplating death (where all roads meet) in his depression (night). Waiting for you (to meet you).
"I did everything I wanted to": I am prepared to die.
I let them use you for their own ends: a reference to feeling guilt over her death or a reference to fate and the inevitability of death.
Possibly about looking for someone you love/want to be with but doesnt feel the same?
