Echoes start as a cross in you,
Trembling noises that come to soon.
Spatial movement which seems to you,
Resonating your mask or feud.
Hollow talking and hollow girl,
Force it up from the root of pain.
Never said it was good, never said it was near,
Shadow rises and you are here.
And then you cut;
You cut it out,
And everything
Goes back to the beginning.
Silence seizes a cluttered room,
Light is shed not a breath too soon.
Darkness rises in all you do,
Standing and drawn across the room.
Spatial movements are butterflies
Shadows scatter without a fire.
There's never been bad, there has always been truth,
Muted whisper of the things she'll move.
And then you cut;
You cut it out.
And everything
Goes back to the beginning.
Never said it was good, never said it was new,
Muted whisper of the things you feel.
Trembling noises that come to soon.
Spatial movement which seems to you,
Resonating your mask or feud.
Hollow talking and hollow girl,
Force it up from the root of pain.
Never said it was good, never said it was near,
Shadow rises and you are here.
And then you cut;
You cut it out,
And everything
Goes back to the beginning.
Silence seizes a cluttered room,
Light is shed not a breath too soon.
Darkness rises in all you do,
Standing and drawn across the room.
Spatial movements are butterflies
Shadows scatter without a fire.
There's never been bad, there has always been truth,
Muted whisper of the things she'll move.
And then you cut;
You cut it out.
And everything
Goes back to the beginning.
Never said it was good, never said it was new,
Muted whisper of the things you feel.

"You cut it OFF"
-The meaning would be just slightly different, yeah-
BTW I recommend everyone to check out the danish film "SUBMARINO" where i could hear that song. AWESOME film.
I think the song could be about one of two things, a relationship that is falling apart, or a person who is reminiscing his childhood and events regarding his parents divorce.
Personally I lean more toward the latter of the two possibilities. Partly because there is almost no love in this song, as there ought to be had it been regarding a romantic relationship. Secondly the very important line "And everything goes back to the beginning" suggests that its the latter of the two.
So what is this persons past and why is it important?
It all seems to be regarding some conflict perhaps a trauma in childhood, the "trembling noices that come to soon" suggest that something is nearing him and is destroying his otherwise perhaps peaceful childhood.
And the next line "resonating your mask of feud" again suggests that something is fake or out of order. Personally I think he is describing one of his parents, and since he goes on to say "hollow girl" in the next line I think he is describing his mother in his early childhood and perhaps its a divorce that is nearing, and destroying his childhood euphoria.
after this first part of the song music plays and we get the "Never said it was good" and "Shadows raises and you are here" suggesting something has changed to the worse, perhaps at this point the divorce is final, and he now lives with a mom who is struggling to make ends meet, and who still is hurt from the divorce the "Shadows raises and you are here" definetly suggest that are some unresolved issues regarding the divorce and all-in-all in his childhood.
"and then you cut"
The "you" person in this line could be either of his parent, I think its his mom though.
And as we've reached sofar she is not a happy person, but a person filled with anger.
"you cut it out"
what she cuts out must be love, or at least the capacity for love. As the divorce must've changed her view on this.
"and everything goes back to the beginning"
she doesnt realize why she does this, but the main character the man who is reminiscing his childhood and the events regarding his parents divorce realizes that his mom's behavior is due the events regarding the divorce and the feelings that were hurt at the time.
"Silence seizes a cluttered room,
Light is shed not a breath too soon.
Darkness rises in all you do,
Standing and drawn across the room.
Spatial movements are butterflies
Shadows scatter without a fire."
These lines again describes this "you" person that could be either of his parents, or even himself.
I think these lines speaks for themselves. Needless to say things are bad.
"There's never been bad, there has always been truth,
Muted whisper of the things she'll move."
Ahh a "she" character perhaps it was his mother he was describing all along then.
muted whispers must be a metaphor for what she has cut out earlier in the song. exactly what its she'll move or even if that is supposed to be analyzed as a metaphor is bit unknown to me.
"Never said it was good, never said it was new,
Muted whisper of the things you feel. "
of course as she has cut out her love and thereby her capacity to feel, the 'whispers of the things you feel are muted'
