I wonder have you ever seen the sky
and felt this weight upon open eyes
New death sensation
flesh flowers dream to bloom
Illumination
New death sensation
we dance the stone death naked by the shore
I hear her highway song forever more
empty is this tomb
lay this flesh to waste
let the pieces fall where they may
insects play their sunshine games
splashing blood on my soul
crisp black kiss upon my skull
lay this flesh to waste
let the pieces fall where they may
let the worms play their sunshine games
slashing blood on my soul
crisp black kiss upon my skull
empty is this tomb

    I tend to think the opposite of the previous comment. The song is called New Death Sensation, this leads me to believe that it is exploring the idea of what it would be like to be dead. What would you feel? What would you think? I wonder have you ever seen the sky- After being dead for centuries would you remember ever seeing the sky? And felt this weight upon open eyes- The literal weight of the world, the six feet of earth you are buried under. Flesh flowers dream to bloom- The corpses underground (flesh flowers) desire to be alive again (bloom) We danced the stone death naked by the shore, I hear her highway song forevermore- I think this is just to represent past memories of life, dancing, warm memories of your significant other. Empty is this tomb- Possibly to signify that a tomb is meant to hold death, but in this case it holds life, or maybe the person is the tomb and feels empty inside, or maybe it's about raising from the dead literally leaving an empty tomb behind. The black kiss may be the kiss of death. Lay this flesh to waste, let the pieces fall where they may- The body may die, but the soul lives forever. He's saying destroy my body it is useless to me now that I'm dead.

    The insects and worms are just representations of death and decay, being that they consume your body after death. Illumination represents a new knowledge/feeling/sensation you have learned what it is like to be dead.
