The Unknown Lyrics
Woman help me
You turn my head in circles
Mama blessed me
With magnet eyes for purple
Oh so let me show you something good
Pastor, Preacher
I want to say I'm sorry
Nice to meet ya
I think my eyes are starry
Pledge allegiance to my only
Sooner or later it all comes around
Hopefully then I will see
After the people and places are gone
You will come back, you will come back to me, to me, to me
You will come back to me, to me, to me
Auntie Mara I think you know my reasons
I was a product of everything in season
Oh so heavy
Set me free again
Oh my papa
If all the world could know you
You could stop a thousand wars across the globe
Oh I miss ya
Show them something good
Sooner or later it all comes around
Hopefully then I will see
After the people and places are gone
You will come back, you will come back to me,
To me, to me
You will come back to me, to me, to me
To me, to me
You turn my head in circles
With magnet eyes for purple
Oh so let me show you something good
I want to say I'm sorry
Nice to meet ya
I think my eyes are starry
Pledge allegiance to my only
Hopefully then I will see
After the people and places are gone
You will come back, you will come back to me, to me, to me
You will come back to me, to me, to me
I was a product of everything in season
Oh so heavy
Set me free again
If all the world could know you
You could stop a thousand wars across the globe
Oh I miss ya
Show them something good
Hopefully then I will see
After the people and places are gone
You will come back, you will come back to me,
To me, to me
You will come back to me, to me, to me
To me, to me

I think this song is all about death. That is, "The Unknown" - what comes after death? The singer is singing to the person he has lost in life, and how he will meet them again in the after life, when he dies. "After the people and places are gone" are the people and places of this world. Once they are gone, that is, once the singer dies, "You will come back to me" he will reunite with his family.
"Sooner or later it all comes around" - death is inevitable. The singer acknowledges this. But in my view, he is not afraid to die.
