-Stealing from you everything you wanted
The speaker is taking away everything the listener desired, and the listener will face consequences for their actions.
Pay the price in everything you do
-Can't escape 'cause you are being haunted
-Loving everything I stole from you
-Falling, falling out of view
The listener is losing visibility or importance, and there is a calling that involves everyone.
It's calling, calling all of you
-You're damned if you do
The listener is in a situation where they are doomed regardless of their actions.
Cast a spell and blind you to reflection
The speaker uses deception, controlling what the listener sees, and believes, emphasizing manipulation.
Seeing only what I want you to
-There is nothing in me but deception
-Believing everything I want you to
-Falling, falling out of view
The listener is damned if they do something, indicating a no-win situation.
It's calling, calling all of you
-You're damned if you do
-(Do)
Repetition emphasizes the inevitability of the listener's damned situation.
(Do)
-(Do)
-Hum
Similar to the opening, these lines contribute to the overall atmosphere, perhaps representing an ongoing sense of foreboding.

Repetition of falling and calling, underlining the inescapable fate and a pervasive influence affecting everyone.

Reiteration of the listener being damned if they take certain actions.
