I Die in Degrees Lyrics
I'd follow endlessly to live the life I've seen
And now every passing moment I die but one degree
Shall I relinquish my integrity
Thereby ensuring that I'll remain unclean
Until my days filled with not untrust and fear
I'll not make one vow to which I won't adhere
Shall I relinquish my integrity
Thereby ensuring that I'll remain unclean
I didn't want it this way but I've never wanted to stay
(My life take not for granted)
Yet nothings changed in me
(The search for true perfection)
Will lead me endlessly
And now every passing moment I die but one degree
Thereby ensuring that I'll remain unclean
I'll not make one vow to which I won't adhere
Thereby ensuring that I'll remain unclean
(My life take not for granted)
Yet nothings changed in me
(The search for true perfection)
Will lead me endlessly

The song meaning to me is about... Regret and looking back upon something and wondering if it could ever be different. "Shall I relinquish my integrity thereby ensuring that I'll remain unclean"
It makes a lot of sense when i think about it this way.
I also think a lot of pride ends up getting in the way of wanting to change the things that have happened. "I didn't want it this way but I've never wanted to stay" Wanting to change something without changing the path i follow, for if i deteriorate i will not be following the path i chose.
It makes sense when you look at the rest of the album. I think Phil was mentioning problems about his Christianity and his faith.
