This is an 'after-life journey' story. The person, seeing themself re-live the death experience is found contemplating what is in store for them when they die. The unknown is powerful. Yet the unknown is wrapped in a belief in God for the person cry's out to Him. The person is reminded that God has warned about excessive speed when God said "My Love, take it slowly..." and the advice was not heeded. Yet in that despair the person is reminded earlier that they are 'So damn lucky, that you' (referring to the redeemed Jesus) 'went on ahead and said', "I'll see you later..."
The person makes multiple plea to God to "Take me back, take me back, take me back with an wry attitude that it 'would be just like you God to show me this..."
The final two thoughts... Forgive me -- OK -- as if to say 'I bend to your will to take me.'
A personal note: My oldest daughter turned me on to DMB a few years ago, and for that I am thankful. She said he would "say things that would make sence to you." When I first heard this song on Some Devil it quickly became my favorite. About three weeks later a hard-driving, fun-loving, no-holds young man that our family had grown to love died while skiing bottomless snow the three days after Christmas, 2003. He was the epidomy of reckless and loving, a fantastic young man. The morning of his wake, I heard him singing this song to me and I knew this song had to be shared with his friends at the service. And it was. And now he is 'Forgiven and OK' with God.
Wow! I think you hit the nail on the head with this explanation. I was thinking it had to do with "afterlife/heaven" and not just about the feeling you get before a crash. Happy Easter! :)
