The lyrics are actually drawn from poems by Emily Dickinson.
An introduction about Emily Dickinson, written by Martha Dickinson Bianchi, says this:
She [Emily Dickinson] even descends over the brink of the grave to toy with the outworn vesture of the spirit, recapture the dead smile on lips surrendered forever; then, as on the wings of Death, betakes herself and her reader in the direction of the escaping soul to new, incredible heights.
Seeing that I haven't read the actual poem in depth, I am unable to discern the entire meaning.
