Actually the guy that said it sounds like two lovers who could be lovers actually makes sense.

"We could perfect one last night and die like star-crossed lovers when we fight."

They will be friends one more night and end like doomed lovers when they break-up.

"We could settle this affair if you could shed your yellow take my hand."

Forget your fear.

"And then we'll solve the mystery of laceration gravity."

Then we'll understand the cruel reality of life.

"This riddle of revenge. Please understand it has to be this way."

Something's keeping them apart, and they could accept it.

"Take my f***in hand. And we'll never be afraid again."

But they should go for it anyway.

"We've only got one chance to put this at an end
and cross the patron saint of switchblade fights"

They need to kill to be together. I think....

"You said we're not celebrities, we spark and fade, they die by threes"

It is saying love doesn't last forever. It sparks and fades, but dies even quicker.

"I'll make you understand and you can trade me for an apparition"

He's saying he will die and she can have his ghost

"Trust, you said Who put the words in your head Oh how wrong we were to think That immortality meant never dying"

Um I think it means they were wrong about love

"Just because my hands around your throat!"
They're killing each other for love.

I think the title ties into that saying. Either she regrets dying, or that she must die, or even that she loves him so much.

Under some imagination it could be about friendship. The sacrifice you both would make. Maybe just love in general...

Ahh man... I love that first comment... but I probably wouldn't die for my best friend... maybe a girlfriend, but not a friend or best friend

I Think this song is about a friendship that was coming to an end for some reason or another. And wanting to hold on to the friendship until the very end. "Stand up fucking tall...take my fucking hand." I think this song is telling you to look out for your friends and defend them against all the people who come and try to bring them down, even if you know the friendship isn't strong. "it has to be this way" I think means that "im sorry but it has to end."

I've really been thinking about it...if you read Romeo and Juliet.... it sorta follows it... so i think that it is about Romeo and Juliet... Because i am reading the play in class....and this song got stuck in my head when i saw the words star-crossed lovers, in the prologue...or the chorus or whatever.... just think about it.
