(1:23)Hope would fail me in the falling snow
And slake a wish inside - The person in the song is depressed. His (I will asume the person is a man according to the last bit of lyrics) life situation is in a bad shape. He tries to hope for the best, but thinks that it doesn't get him nowhere. Falling snow = his current situation.. he can't see the direction his life is going. He doesn't try to hope for the best.
(2:05)Friends would leave me in my darkest hour
Yet trust me with their lives - He is trustworthy, but his friends are not. Another example of his depression.
(5:10)She would haunt my dreams and feed my demons
They tell me to go - He is in love with a woman. The man thinks about her (she would haunt my dreams) & the woman angers him for some reason (feed my demons). The man tries to forget about her and forget the hate. (they tell me to go - he is talking about the demons)

version 3
Tuning: EADGBe
Most of this is right, maybe I got some extra or less octaves than needed in some places,
be sure to write any comments or suggestions, and don't forget to rate, good luck!
I recommend using your fingers for (most of) this song, it'll help you get that mellow
sound down

This next riff is the reason I decided to tab the song, it may be a keyboard but the tab
would not be complete
without this! This is the bridge and the rhythm for the solos. Hope this makes up for
the lack of second solo.

Aaaand good luck with the second solo, if I ever see it worthy to slow the song
up to -999% I'll try and tab it

Hope would fail me in the falling snow
And slake a wish inside
Friends would leave me in my darkest hour
Yet trust me with their lives
She would haunt my dreams and feed my demons
They tell me to go
