To me, is about a depressed guy who was left by his girlfriend and finally commits suicide
"Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
And where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me "
¿Where were you when I was dying alone while remembering the things you did and said?
"While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun
Lost in thought and lost in time"
While you were hanging around with another guy who is trying to seduce you with his words. I was lost thinking and looking to the light at the end of the tunnel*
"While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence"
While our time was ending, and the other guy's time was about to start, I was depressed, thinking about the distance that now separate us, and irresistibly wanting to commit suicide.
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight into the shining sun
I knew the moment had arrived, the moment to bury our history and start over again, I thought about our actual (non existing) relation, and realized that I just had to wait. I had commited suicide, and was already dying and heading to the light at the end of the tunnel.
*Many songwriters refer to the sun as the death or heaven, like the light at the end of the tunnel.
