I feel that this song definitely deserves an interpretation. There are so many things that this song could be about, religion, drugs, unrequited love, and being in love with your depression. Personally I think it's about the last one, "i'm in love with my sadness". Like if you think about the "she" in the song as his depression it makes perfect sense. yeah..

he says it's empty just like me so it is more than likely about depression.

"Intoxicated with the madness i'm in love with my sadness" Intense deep words. i think it's about being in love with being sad. that you want everyone to know your sad.

This song is about unrequited love, but also about being depressed and not seeing yourself as anything-"I'm your lover, I'm your zero."

My reflection, dirty mirror...
he sees his reflection as something that can best be seen, either by himself or his lover, in a mirror that is dirty and unclean.

its no connection to myself...
and in this reflection he sees a monster and disassociates himself from it.

im your lover, I'm your zero, I'm the face in your dreams of glass...
he sees himself as a lover and a loser and the face that she sees in her dreams of glass(mirrors)

so save your prayers for when you re really gonna need em...
hes telling her that he is a lost cause and not to pray for him so as not to waste her prayers; to save them for someone/thing that really matters.

throw out your cares and fly, wanna go for a ride?
yet despite all his feelings of self hate, he loves her and continues to spend time with her as long as it is destined to last.

shes the one for me, she's all I really need cause she's the one for me(self explanatory)

emptiness is loneliness and loneliness is cleanliness and cleanliness is godliness and god is empty just like me...
show how he views emptiness transforming into loneliness all the way to being like God, who has the whole earth below him but not a one sentient being that can understand him and fill the void of being utterly alone. alone, surrounded by people.

intoxicated with the madness, I'm in love with my sadness...
he is so used to being alone and sad that he's grown accustomed to it to the point of being in love with it and fearing almost any other change.

bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms, the fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth...
hating the insincerity of people and their happy little sham ideas of bigger, better lives with better clothes to strengthen their façade, while they chew at the same black teeth and souls like we all do.(at least, those of us who think for ourselves)

i never let on that I was on a sinking ship. I never let on that I was down...
he says to her(mostly himself) that he did a good job of disguising and hiding all his self-loathing feelings from her.

you blame yourself for what you can't ignore. you blame yourself for wanting more...
he sees how he has been the catalyst for the destruction of their relationship, even though she is the on appointing blame on herself for wanting him and wanting something he can't be as a person.

the end of the song is his last, undying attempt, despite everything, to tell her how fucked up he is, but she is still the only one for him.

this is just my interpretation. I'm sure one out of a million. If you have half a brain you ll realise how straightforward this is. I believe that most good rock should be kind of abstract in its lyrics, but that's whats so fun about music and thinking for yourself; you can interpret any song any way you like....

except for rap. everything the lyrics say is EXACTLY what they mean.
