Seems like a song about being in limbo, or maybe a dream.
I opened my eyes to sunlight, broke over the marsh. My lungs are filled with sulphur, I was all washed up. ...brain/raining into a gutter. I had no memory of who I was.
500 years I was close to(?) you. 500 years I was lost for you. There's nothing left of me, I can't move on for 500 years.
I followed the cleaner? sidewalks down into the city, The Palm Rats? (this is a company in Naples) ...the telephone wires hanging up above me. I knew that his black eyes were watching on me. I could feel the heat of the flames reaching out for me.
Somewhere in the cemetery, I know my corpse rotting. My heart's paralysed and my chest feels like my ...? Sometimes it feels like I have always been here, Sometimes it feels like I will never leave.

This seems like David Johanseon's Soul Part 2

To me it seems like a metaphor for the whole major label era. There is a video where Tom says, "This song is about being a ghost". So I'm going to say it's about that.

I just mean, sing it to the tune of DJS.
It would fit perfectly

I saw a video of Tom saying this song is about being a ghost.
I opened my eyes as sunlight broke over the marsh. My lungs were filled with sulphur, I was all washed up. Caught in a storm drain and into a gutter. I had no memory of who I was.
500 years I was a ghost for you. 500 years I was lost for you. There's nothing left of me, I can't move on for 500 years.
I followed the cleaner? sidewalks down into the city, The palm rats danced on the telephone wires hanging up above me. I knew that his black eyes were watching on me. I could feel the heat of the flames reaching out for me.
Somewhere in the cemetery, I know my corpse is rotting. My heart's paralysed in my chest. Feels like my legs are made of concrete (?) Sometimes it feels like I have always been here, Sometimes it feels like I will never leave.

He's already changed that legs of concrete lyric.
It's now something like "a dead heart in my chest and a lapsed breath"

I opened my eyes as sunlight broke over the marsh. My lungs were filled with sulphur, I was all washed up. CRAWLED UP a storm drain and into a gutter. I had no memory of who I was.
500 years I was a ghost for you. 500 years I was lost for you. There's nothing left of me, I can't move on for 500 years.
I followed the COQUINA sidewalks down into the city, The palm rats danced on the telephone wires hanging up above me. I knew that his black eyes were watching on me. I could feel the heat of the flames reaching out for me.
Somewhere in the cemetery I know my corpse is rotting. My heart's paralysed in my chest. / WITH A DEAD HEART IN MY CHEST Feels like my legs are made of concrete / AND NOT A DRAW LEFT IN MY BREATH Sometimes it feels like I have always been here, Sometimes it feels like I will never leave.
