Actually, while those are cool ideas, it is about depression. Little black submarines being dark thoughts that drag you under the sea of depression. I've lived this, so I know it. He told his girl he'd be back, but his mind is being wrecked by the dark thoughts, even though he wishes to be reconnected with reality and happiness and do right by her. Later it says "you know me, I had plans, but they just disappeared, to the back of my mind." Obviously because he had darker thoughts on his mind, such as stolen friends, and disease (most likely cancer took friends of his.) I could go deeper and do a blow by blow but I think you get my drift. Oh I will say though you were right about the "I should have seen it glow, but everybody knows, that a broken heart is blind" part. He should have seen the warning signs, but didn't because he was so deep in his depression. Also I think the overall gist of the song is that he let his girl down and lost her, much to his own dismay, because of this horrible depression he couldn't break. Sorry for being so redundant. Hope this helped some to understand, because I think he put it very artfully, much as I have myself in the past.
You could've left out the "much as I have myself in the past" from your synopsis. It makes you sound arrogant. Up until that point you sounded very bright and kind, but that last line is off. I do that too, though. Anyway, I like what you wrote. You should dig deeper. I'd read it. Unless you don't have the time. Otherwise, never give up an opportunity to dig as deep as you can: it's amazing what you find and what you can create. Maybe you already know this, though.
