Lyric discussion by In the mist 

Cover art for Karma lyrics by Opeth

well i guess its a little more positive. this is the turning point for the ghost, he realises that this is no longer his place, look at the songs before karma, do you notice how many times the word you is in it? in this song there is not a single you. meaning he has left the female person in the story, he is no longer around her anymore " i have gone a away, the bed is cold and empty"

this is the song in wich the ghost finds comfort in his death and can go on into the afterlife , wich happens in the last song epilogue
