This is a very personal interpretation so I don't expect it to be right, but how it seems to me is:
Plastic blue is one aspect of a personality, the nice and slightly naive part that is most often shown by someone rather than the harsh and realistic part, so really plastic blue, or blue is a person.
Stanza one is the anticipation of someones arrival. The person I care(d) about I get really worked up about if they are comming round and just wait for them and have feelings and sentences that I reserve(d) only for us and that I wouldn't say to anyone else. It seems that this stanza might be like that. Sunlight fading to me makes me imagine waiting for someone who never shows up. It's that passing of time and dissapointment.
The second stanza is the other aspect of someones personality. The honest voice that tells us how shitty people can be someitmes and how they treat us badly.
"Romance is breaking every heart in two, casting shadows in the pale shade of blue".
Love and the other person is heatbreaking, and it is having a negative impact on the usual moods/personality of the person. Blue is the 'everyday/normal' person as they go through their day-to-day life.
Stanza three is blue, the personality that is naive, but this time blue is reeling from the big let down and feels crappy about it all. "Conversations in my room"- to me is when you talk to yourself, you know that something is damaging yet you want it so much you try to argue against your better judgement and defend it and justify it.
Twilight fading seems again to represent time moving on and the situation getting worse.
Stanza four is the anger and honesty in the persons mind breaking out again.
This time though "reflections cutting every face in two", in other words they blame themselves for the other persons behavoir. After all, if there was nothing wrong with you then why would they treat you so badly? You tend to blame yourself and this is what I think is happening in the song.
It's a strange way to leave the song but I guess it might be about what people do in that kind of situation.
Like I said anyway, that is my personal interpretation of the song and I am sure it is probably not very coherent but I'm feeling a bit crappy so I care little.
I think that is a wonderful interpretation, it goes so deep into hidden meanings of some words. I happen to have a thing for times of day and weather that kind off stuff and I always thought about how twilight is the time of day when it is dark but there is still some light, and that one line about twilight fading made me think about how now all light on the situation has died. I think you did a wonderful explanation and agree completely with you.
