This song is about the death of Trent's grandmother.
Not only that, but it's more specifically about her funeral.
The entire bunch of lyrics is Trent speaking about the funeral priest guy burying his grandmother/cremating her.
On the outside, he looks calm and collected, knowing it's his job, it's what he has to do. But on the inside, it pains him to have to lay someone to rest forever. After years and years of doing this, it's left him with a plastic face forced to portray no emotion towards death even though he wants to. It leaves him knowing he just has to do his job and get it over with. Thus cold and grey.
The place that still remains and eats his fear and pain away, is his mind. His mind forces him remain apathetic about having to put someone to rest infront of many loved ones, breaking down.
The sweetest price the priest will have to pay? When he has to lay the entire world to rest and the whole world goes away.
This is actually the CONFIRMED AND REAL meaning to the song The Day The World Went Away.
It's Trent speaking to a priest about how he's so calm and collected while he burys someone/cremates them, while loved ones, and friends all around him, break down over the death of the dead person. In this case, his grandmother. He broke down...the priest remained calm, and just did his job as if he didn't care at all about her death.
The song is dedicated to him. And this is actually the TRUE meaning to the song.
