So we all
Are growing old
And it's getting old
Pressure on
Our hollow bones
And the (varicose)
Suddenly
We decompose
But we're not alone
So we all
Are growing old
Maybe we're sealed in silence
And maybe we feel a guidance
Maybe your own devices
Will keep you afraid and cold
But I
Memorized
Your smile lines
From left to right
(Candlelight)
And childlike
Reaction time
We're allowed
To expire
?
So we all
Are growing old
Pull out the fear of silence
And put out the need for guidance
And put out your own devices
And don't be afraid of the cold
And we sing, sing, sing.
Fight, we fight, fight.
We cry, cry, cry.
We slide, slide, we slide into the light.
We sing, fight, we cry.
We slide, slide, we slide into the light.
Maybe we're sealed in silence
And maybe we feel a guidance
Maybe your own devices
Will keep you afraid and cold, well.
Pull out the fear of silence
Put out the need for guidance
Put out your own devices
And don't be afraid of the cold
Afraid of the cold
Afraid of the time
You've got no where to go but here.
Are growing old
And it's getting old
Pressure on
Our hollow bones
And the (varicose)
Suddenly
We decompose
But we're not alone
So we all
Are growing old
Maybe we're sealed in silence
And maybe we feel a guidance
Maybe your own devices
Will keep you afraid and cold
But I
Memorized
Your smile lines
From left to right
(Candlelight)
And childlike
Reaction time
We're allowed
To expire
?
So we all
Are growing old
Pull out the fear of silence
And put out the need for guidance
And put out your own devices
And don't be afraid of the cold
And we sing, sing, sing.
Fight, we fight, fight.
We cry, cry, cry.
We slide, slide, we slide into the light.
We sing, fight, we cry.
We slide, slide, we slide into the light.
Maybe we're sealed in silence
And maybe we feel a guidance
Maybe your own devices
Will keep you afraid and cold, well.
Pull out the fear of silence
Put out the need for guidance
Put out your own devices
And don't be afraid of the cold
Afraid of the cold
Afraid of the time
You've got no where to go but here.

This song is something serene, almost ethereal. It's like he realizes he and everyone around him is getting older and he doesn't like it. Maybe he feels he's aging faster than the person he's talking to and the person is afraid to move forward in life and get older. Because growing older means a new set of responsibiliies and expectations. Moving into the cold may not mean moving on towards the afterlife, but into the coldness that exists in the real world. Maybe instead of an adult becoming an old man, it's a child becoming an adult. That's supported by the parts that sound like they're describing the birth of a child. And he's giving the advice in the chorus saying 'don't be afraid to speak, you don't need to be guided anymore so don't let people try and control you. And if you don't apply this advice you'll remain fearful of the future'. I feel he's accepted the fact that he's getting older and is trying to help those around him who haven't accepted it. It sounds sorrowful in the song's tone, but it lifts itself up beautifully halfway through.
