Under the warm glow of survival of the day
Then we move on,
My shadow grows tall-er with my fears

The night is when he has terrible, suicidal thoughts and the "horrors of the night" are these thoughts. When the night passes on he feels good in the day.

I've had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but life keeps moving

Meaning
This song could be about a few things. 1. This guy is seriously depressed and is in love and she doesn't love him back. He thinks that cutting himself (bleeding out) and whipping himself will help. 2. (i think this is more likely) he wants to right some wrongs that happened. He may have had someone dump him and he wants to get back together, but regardless of the reason he is willing to sacrifice his well being for the other. He is also willing to be there for her when she is felling bad. He will "be her scarecrow".

This song is all about working your way up from the bottom. In the beginning he has fallen and then he says things like the path to heaven is through miles of hell. I also think that he is saying that even though he wants to get to the top, he isn't going to change just to please people.

I've been around the world
And never in my wildest dreams
Would I come running home to you
I've told a million lies, but

[Pre-Chorus:]
Now remember when I told you
