"The song was sort of written in the fall, there was alot of rain, and a record year for rainfall being kind of a metaphor for one's disposition over the course of a year. And the song is basically about the crumbling of a relationship, um, you know, by way of, the, sort of comparing to the fall of the Roman Empire."
In Colin's own words he was comparing the crumbling of civilizations to the crumbling of relationships.
@danroduw06 just checked your link, listened to Colin, and realized that he probably sings in the chorus 'great', not 'gray'. this makes a bit of sense: 'did it look so great before the fall.' as he said it's a comparison of a fading relationship to a fall of an empire. so both of them looked great before the fall. and I can't figure out why they would be 'gray'.
