A loved one is Watching, observing an expressionless person who has suffered a stroke and now is speachless. they are waiting, watching, hoping to hear them speak their mind once again as time and time is passing away ever so slowly.

He is interpreting that he doesn't want to feel like the past to move on where someone was there to make him happy when in reality, the person is leaving or dying. He doesn't want the person to Leave him behind

You might think that [Jon Bellion] is in such a situation because of that girl, but I have to say that there might be no woman in his story is the problem. First, my overall is that this man is alone because of fame; he is frustrated in all ways because he cannot find somebody to replace the person that he talks about in the song "80's Films" not exactly for her.

Taking this idea he needs to be continuous that he cannot come back with that girl that he talks about in "80's Films", or that she does not want to come back with him, (free for interpretation, independent of your interpretation, it is impossible for him to get her back is what am looking for) and here is the proof.
"Now I'm a ghost, I call your name, you look right through me"
He is definitely talking to the girl from "80's Film", but he is not asking her to give him the attention that the " gosht"

Dressed in Black, is the most lovely song I have never heard in my entire life. This song tells the story of a person whose true-self had to hide from rest of the world because of this person untrusted people, this person closed its heart to those who surrounded it. In my opinion, this is NOT just in relationships.
"I had given up"
"I didn't know who to trust"
"So I designed a shell"
"Kept me from Heaven and Hell"
This occurred for an unknown thing because we cannot find proofs in this song, but the rest of the album 1000 forms of fear tells us.

Sia, this person probably, was really affected by this. Maybe she was insecure, afraid, or in pain (as the song Cellophane apprises).
Quotes like "I had hit a low", "I was in prison by dark", and "I was scared, I was torn", and more show a negative impact in Sia.

Sia was wary of this and she pushed herself to close herself for her own good (I KNOW thanks to other tracks of the album 1000 Forms of Fear that this is true, but you still can predict that Sia pushes herself to close her heart, to stay in her "shell").
" Was all I let myself know"
"I'd given into the fight"
"And I slipped further down"

But then, there was somebody strong headed enough who took the apprehensions to care about Sia. This person gave Sia what she had lost, love, comprehension, understanding, everything she had lost. This person took the nest out of Sia and she put her love back in this outstanding track.

"You found me dressed in black...
Covered my heart in kisses"

I think the meaning has to do with overcoming addiction either alcohol or heroin. Its sounds as if the song is about 'kate' and the fact that now she's great. After '5 years of sleeping where (she) falls' she's seen some things, been some places. She used to have a house with a room and a bed but 'traded them in'. A common way addicts in recovery speak about property that was sold or lost due to their addiction. She learned some things about herself, about places she's been. It came the hard way, but now she knows what counts. Now she's got one prayer: 'it's in your confidence' That she is now sober. Then says to 'remember her next time she goes away, for the 1st time in her life she wants to stay'. Its been 5 years and and she's finally clean. And wants to be remembered like this in case things change. Kate now knows all the places

It is difficult for me to say what this song is supposed to be about but here is my interpretation. It sounds like someone that has just given up on life, possibly suicidal, living in dangerous situations most likely self medicating with some serious drugs. At the point where the trigger is pulled, they have hit rock bottom, nothing left to give, no hope, no faith, just hopeless and dead inside. Something, seems to trigger that faint smoldering ember of hope, i am guessing a woman. He is so lost in that darkness, pleading for her to give him something real to believe in, but is jaded a bit from the life he has lived that he is fighting his own inner demons to actually feel something he no longer believes in, or is at least scared to believe in because after a life of so many terrible things, it is almost scarier to have something real that you could lose.
