• 'La petite mort', French for "the little death", is a metaphor for orgasm. It's a mad world...but we're built to weather it. struggling with the emptiness of existence. We all are children are oblivious to the concept of existence, that they see only what they know, and that he wishes he could share their ignorance. I think that this entire song is him realizing that there's no point in existing. He's not necessarily suicidal, but he sees existence as trivial. His dreams about dying are not necessarily about death, but about ceasing to exist altogether, something he wishes was possible. I have a faith that I constantly question and adjust accordingly to the way my life plays out. I'm not going to preclude that faith with the assertion that it's any more or less valid than anyone else's; quite frankly, there's no doubt in my mind that I'm wrong.
