Lyric discussion by BobbyBSee 

okay, so after listening to this song like, 1000 times, I have decided it is about Zombies.

here is why:

"that the soil is soaked through with old blood and with relatives who were buried here, or close to here, and they are giving rise"

Zombies, that's why he is going to alaska, where you can go blind just by looking at the ground, and the animals can kill you, and you have to eat fat by itself just to keep warm. these are all terrible things, but not nearly so bad as Zombies.
