I agree with 'junocake' so much, it has a spiritual element that you can so easily get lost in. To me, that is what the song is about. About being so lost in love, depression, thought or whatever that you become distant and in your own world. Most of the verses conjure up this image in me of a person standing completely still while the world around them is going at 1,000 mph. Its about being lost in yourself, in the calm eye of the storm.
There's a confusion I get out of it too though, which is why I think of it as being about love. He "trains himself in martial arts...to reinforce his softer parts" as a means of toughening himself up, yet at the same time he "see[s] to bolts [and] puts keys to locks" as if he wants to shut himself away from it altogether.
Yeah, I think its about love and being lost in it. But I suppose the beauty of it is that anyone can relate to it in any different way. I personally can't see the depression aspect to it though.
