you guys are oblivious. this song is about smoking crack. when you burn crack, it is called cremation. the sound at the beginning of the song (the "crackling" sound) is the exact sound crack makes when you smoke it. i should know...because i've smoked crack. at the end of the song he is breathing really heavy (smoking crack) and then that dirty but euphoric sounding outro is about what being high on crack feels like. done.

on a side note, conor had a major coke problem when he was recording this album. and pretty much anyone has done "foileys" when their cocaine supply is low. you mix a bit of coke, a smaller amount of baking soda, and a drop of water on foil and smoke it. instant crack.

Am I mistaken, or towards the end of the song (when the music briefly dies down) does anyone else hear a match being struck?

Mellow Harsher theres a lot of really odd sounds in this song, but i think i know what youre talking about. i always thought it sounded like a light switch being turned on or off but now that you mention the match being lit, i think youre right.

It would make sense, at least, with the title being "Cremation" and all.

This song is the digital cremation of the digital body, making the ashes for Digital Ash in a Digital Urn. It's a prelude.

Sometimes I wonder if people ever consider how ignorant they sound.

That aside, Xiansnake definitely nailed it. Conor has a knack for pulling beauty from the most morbid and morose of sentiments.
