I think it is about a couple whose relationship is completely based on each others insecurities. "There'll be no lullabies There'll be no tears cried We feel numb 'cause we don't see That if we really care And we really loved Think of all the joy we'd feel" They physically gratify each other to give each other a sense of belonging, as each are too afraid to be alone.

I think this song is about a bad relationship. The two people rarely get along and they have been together for so long that they are numb to each others' feelings, Hence "There is no space and time". It is a relationship that they know could be much better but they feel that it is unfixable, but they also feel that they could not go on without each other because they are insecure on their own.

To me, this song is of one who has come to the crossroads of his/her. He sees things he should have done to fulfill him, but knows that there is 'no time for sad lament as a wasted life is bitter spent'. He knows that there is still time for him to do what he wants to fulfill himself "rising into the light" and he is going to do it anyway despite him being too old or whatever saying that "he'll do it in or out of time"

It could definetely be about a long standing relationship that is a chore to both people, because they're both afraid to be alone, but they get no joy from being together. However, they keep trying to work on it because they know there would be a lot of joy. When things don't work out, they are so tired of trying to fix it that they just want the other to say everything's alright so that they can relax about it. But in reality they know that it's no good. They know that all the space and time in the world will not be enough. But they still stick together...

I love this song since high school. But now I just begin to understand it a little. For some reason, this song comforts me after I was damaged again.

About a relationship gone called you've only stuck together this long cos ur scared of being alone. You lie to yourself your in love but you gain no happiness from it. "Keep on pushing 'cause I know it's there" means he keeps on searching for that romance.

i think this is about a person who is struggling to see the beauty in life cause they're damaged goods. But they are trying hard to see the good, and i believe they eventually do shift their life view.
