I refuse to sleep
The speaker is determined not to rest.
I will not eat
They are refusing to eat.
I'm drowning in my bed

And make her blind

Describing someone in a frenzied or distressed state.
Carry him to me
Asking for assistance in bringing someone to the speaker.
His blood like cream
Graphic imagery, possibly referring to violent or intense emotions.

Referencing fading hopes or dreams.
The light will dissipate
The brightness or positivity is disappearing.
And carve another name
Implies marking or memorializing someone else's demise.
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up

And clean your eyes
