This is the whole point of the song. To be very powerful in its nature, to show and convey the results of the actions people are taking sometimes, and causing this stupid things, like taking their own lives, by fear and lack of hope.
The connection or even comperison between this very naive plain description of a "soft" love to someone - As in a first love, seen through the eyes and experimentation of children, or so - which crashes down with the manner of the Heaven's Gate cult: This song, that comes before the horrifing nature of the audio takes of the videoclips taken by the prime members of the cult that follows it, can be very much interpret as the brain washes of the cult. Of what has been going on inside their heads. It makes you look at this issue in a twisted way, 'cuz it's described so plain and innocent like, so calm and relaxing, which is the opposite obviously. Like trying to see things, or better yet to describe their emotions even, by this numbing situation.
