Lyric discussion by envelope 

It's about a long distance relationship online. That or a relationship that takes place predominantly online/puter-side.

"fills columns to new heights" = chatlog "All these things about me you never can tell" = lack of access to the other person's real life "Colors run prime, paint a picture so bright" = pics/images on your monitor (RedGreenBlue = prime/primary colors) "invisible friend" = long distance, remember? they just aren't there when you're sleeping, away from your puter.

"Turn the dial on my words / I can feel them fall short / Turn the dial, chime alarm / Watch these hands move apart" = Connect that part about sleep and this and it seems like being away from eachother is that period of sleep, be it figurative or literal, is what they need to be awoken from...or they feel that their words are not "waking up" the other person adequately and feel a distance grow between them thusly.

Actually, the primary colors are Red, Green and Yellow. You are correct about the color scheme for a computer, though.
