i see this more as a positive song bc of the chorus. it seems more like he's saying that you should take whatever life throws at you. "fall with no trace to lie permanently" seems to suggest that even though you're falling you shouldn't assume that you'll die (lie permanently) and instead take nothing for granted and take everything as it comes and make the best out of it. maybe i'm just being way too philosophical and reading into this way too much, but it doesnt matter because the song is still absolutely phenomenal--def my fave on this album. he's really a mastermind when it comes to writing beatiful pieces of music.
