i think this song has something to do with reincarnation...maybe not literally, but it's definitely referred to in the song.
for instance,
"I was first-born to a parade
that follows in rows
down a narrow cold black river
faceless shadows
movin' slow"
i think he's talking about ants here...could be something else though.
"I would move swift when
the sounds of a trumpet would blow"
horse...
"Now I'm 10 miles in the deep
and mighty blue sea
Looking back, towards a long white beach
burnin' up into yellow flames"
soldier in a war...possibly vietnam or one of the World Wars, as he speaks of a beach...
i don't think he means for the references to reincarnation to be taken literally, so i think the song is basically about life, the experiences you have, and living life to the fullest...
