Personally, ive always thought the song is sung in the perspective of death himself. He’s always watched down upon everyone, waiting to claim them when its their time. He’s sent them “omens and all kinds of signs”, warning them not to do something that might end up ending their lives too soon. He helped people avoid dying because it may not have been their time, but the person that he’s speaking of in particular seems to have found some way to get around dying, and therefore that releases some form of “darkness” that brings “evil things” and so a “reckoning begins” for all of humanity. This is just a warning to those who try to avoid death, try to break the inevitable, because bad things may happen to those who do, there are rules to follow, and life and death are apart of those rules, to follow them, or you may bring more pain and suffering to not only yourself but others. Its a comforting and poetic song to bring light to those who are scared, its to bring a sense of relief and comfort to let those who are scared know that its okay, that theres no reason to be scared, that death was only trying to help in the first place. |
