This song is so amazing. I can agree with the both of you. What gets me about this song is that I can emotionally relate to it, but I can't pinpoint exactly why. The path may be one away from the fake light of many religions to what you believe is truly the Creator(s) of all. It may seem dark to everyone else, but you know that it comforts you; it's home to you. It could also be about the many choices we have in life; some are dark, but ultimately, they all lead to the light of the present or soon-to-be future. Or it could be about the path of life that you follow, which gets very dark and troublesome at times. Even the most terrible and uncertain "things" in life can turn out to be the light for you while on your path. Life may be dark (unclear/uncertain), but there is a light through that darkness (be it an afterlife or just a cease to all of the pain and bittersweetness of life). Like I said, I can't pinpoint why it is such a strong song, but it can mean so much at different times. The instrumentation is purely amazing here, which is what greatly enhances the lyrics. This is easily one of my favorite songs (or the best?) by this incredible band.
