In my humble opinion Banekeeper can't actually be more right, I wouldn't say this song it's exactly like the poem but it's about it for sure, I mean Allan's Poe poem: The Conqueror worm it's a metaphoric verse about human mortality taken away by the inevitable course of death and it's told withing other story called Ligeia (which is very similar to lydia with the difference that Jeff may have changed because he's so related to music field that he might have found very cool to make an subtle reference to Lydian mode) which is also about a girl who...

hrmm could you explain a bit more i dont see any meaning in this song or maybe i should just reread the lyrics?
