This song's about trying to hold on to the last bit of hope that he has left. The entire album is about someone close to the singer who is dying (just listen to all the songs in order), as the singer tries to hang on until the end. Then he's forced to "reconstruct." This song's about his hope that the person will recover, and they can start all over. In the beginning, he's in complete tumult over the loss of the person. But he tries to be hopeful and start over by asking for "a new name for everything."
It's about hope.
