Love your interpretation Pixie, very poetic 
.
I'm gonna go into various aspects that I saw or was reminded of thnx to the song. Plus try to link it to the words a bit and such... Where to start?
1) Communication
The meaning I guess everyone can identify is: society's (people's) inability to communicate and connect with others.
I read somewhere that one of the singers commented on how it is about a world not willing to love (people no longer knowing how to love each other) and the lack of communication on an emotional level.
But what can a person who does certain sorceric practices see in there?
2) Dreaming
The song is about the insight we get through dreaming. Seeing in dreaming. About how dreams speak and show us truths.(This can link also to seers having visions/dreams.)
There are a couple of things that remind me of a certain state of dreaming/seeing. The way the sounds and lights are described/work in this world of the song. the way sound is different and the halo of the light.
Even the typical entering into a dream is somehow similar. At the beginning is darkness... and silence. Then we enter into a dream bubble, as we approach we start to pick up some sensory input. And quite often one could say that the dream world we enter has grown from a seed in our mind. Or at least incorporates these.
Sometimes also when I leave a dream (bubble) I am first in a transition place of darkness before I enter the waking world.
3)Dreaming/Seeing/ Prophecy
Say the poet in the song is compelled to share a prophecy, but the people have stopped listening long ago. And they do not feel the need for seers and prophets, they are fine with the watered-down version of the neon lights.
He goes to his friend darkness so he can talk to it possibly because no one is interested in the dreams/vision (even outside of the people who were not willing to listen to him in the dream).
One can find some of the prophecies and messages of the old poets/prophets underground. One needs to journey to the lower world (core-shamanism anyone?). The tenement halls I link to communities - places where people actually were able to form communities - possibly on the fringes of the world where the people that the poet sees are.
These kinds of clues of how to get to realness in the world can be seen all around us - even in the most unlikely of places - on the screens (flashing signs), and they are flashing at those who are willing to wake up - though most of the time people do not act on these or do not notice them. But the poet who is awake can see them.
Plus one could go and say the song itself is the prophecy of what the world is coming to...
