i'm looking at this song totally different than a lot of you, check this out. the end is the big mystery it seems cause it goes "i know that this is what you want, a funeral keeps both of us apart;you know that you are not alone;need you like water in my lungs; this is the end"
basically, i think he's deading someone who mistreated him in some way, a best friend, a girlfriend, a family member. the funeral is a metaphor for him being dead to this person, though he's really alive. this person knows they're not alone(has more friends he feels are more important) and that's why they felt they could treat him like shit in the first place. saying that he knows "this is what you(they) want" suggests that he feels they just really didn't care anyway. oh, one other thing...when your lungs are filled with water, you're drowning. he needs this person now as he needs to struggle to the bottom of the sea and DIE. this is the end of a relationship with someone who wasn't so great. "but the wrong words will strand you..."
