This song, being the final track in the album\'s original tracklist, might be inspired by the book of Revelation (aka the second half of the album title). The calming descriptions of "waking gently", as well as "Devil shattered, warmth is everywhere" gives me the impression that this song might be from the perspective of someone seeing the world after the Devil has been defeated. The world feels more homely to them than before, now that the chaos has subsided.\n\nAlternatively, I could also see this being about dying and reaching Heaven, with the narrator mentioning that they\'re "reaching my journey\'s end". Being "in the womb of my guardian goddess" could just be some kind of metaphor for being alive and under the protection of God or an angel.\n\n\nMy interpretation is that both ideas are simultaneously correct; We\'ve reached the end of the album, the end of the Bible, the end of our lives. Evil has been vanquished, and the narrator, having reached the end of his life, is thankful that he\'s been able to witness the earth to return to peace.\n\nThe earth has become a "place to call one\'s own" for the remaining inhabitants, whereas the afterlife has now become the narrator\'s place. |
