Strangly I never heard this song before; :)
I think the man either a gunman, who opens the door to wait for a solider to die. In her heart, she loves this person and believe she was waiting for that person either a soldier or a friend, to come back home and she didn't know that he went out to go for action but didn't say anything to upset her.
Or he was racist, but couldn't say anything and she saw it somewhere on news or newspaper, which made her realise that he betrayed her and went of to fight for a battle which isnt any use, and either he was white and he was racist since the start.
--------------------------------------------------
He comes out of silence and opens the door
Waiting for someone to die
Deep in her heart she is hoping for
The long-lost one
How could she know when the promise was made?
So how can it end in this way?

Then four gray walls come tumbling down
And just because her skin was brown
No wonder she has grown so fast
Those four gray walls were meant to last
----------------------------------------------------
The walls her heart came tumbling down, because she was black and she grown up fast, or maybe was too young to understand racism, and the walls of her heart who was going to be with that man has gone, and she falls apart cos their relationship was meant to last.
-----------------------------------------------------
The friends there that she can count upon
Take orders, but always the spirit holds
Scenes of the never-ending trend
She waits for the hours and hours to pass
She looks to the hourglass
-----------------------------------------------------
The friends who she assume are her friends, control her life, how she should live it, but the spirit, that mans soul has taken a hold of her. Scenes of this racism has never-ended which is like a trend and she looks to the hourglass, or looking at her life, yearning to be free and live life again. It's like the meaning, of hourglas as sands of time to wish her life was over, shes waiting before it's too late.

Those four gray walls were meant to last
-------------------------------------------------
As aboove
---------------------------------------------------
As the shadows come down
She sees him leaving
She can recall
Seems that this fire has lost its form
The form of the hourglass
----------------------------------------------------
I think the shadows of the past is coming back to her, and she sees the man leaving, either to fight as I said above. The fire line I think talks about her spark with this man, or with life has diminished. The form of the houseglass, ermmmm I think it the hourglass was changing shape as someone was racist to her, and the man, it paints an image and it changes to a sandtimer to pictures to life now.

Hope that clears the video up, if not just ask me a question :)
