Aug 11th 2017 reportFunny nobody sees that like a left behind message before having commited suicide.
He is saying to one person he used to trust that he didnt get the support he would have been expected, and that led him to fall deeper into darkness.
Looking through a window to the falling rain "dark and slow", the time lasping, long days, helpless, hurt: all that feelings are describing a deep depression.
"lost in thought"
"lost in time"
The shining sun is the "idea", the "solution": the end of the tunnel, the irresistible escape, the light, calling him everyday more and more, like a planted seed: once depressed person starts thinking about suicide, the idea grows slowly and only people interefering can stop the plant to grow, the final change to come.
The silences he refers to are the absence of this person, the un-answered calls, the support he did not get. This slowly became an obsession "I took an heavenly ride through our slience".
Again, lost in though, over-interpretation those silences, thinking in loop.
And then, he knows, he knew, that the time has come for KILLING the past and coming back to life. Starting again, on the other side.
The waiting had begun.
All this referes to the next and last step to change this life to go... well, coming back to life in a hope to be born again in a better life.
Depression is an heavy thing and some people want just to start again, start from scratch, anything but escaping their own pain and useless life.
Quite dark song for me.

- Coming Back To Life
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
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 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
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
