I actually take this song in a way that is much different from anyone else.. I actually take this as a song from the view point of someone who has died, and their soul (or whatever you want to call it) is still there, but the body isn't.. idk
The earth is warm next to my ear, insect noise is all that I hear.. the body is being buried under the ground
The finish line represents death, but it's a good place to start the life that starts after death
The final verse is like the soul has left earth and has gone to space, and hearing the name is when he is going through the final judgement at the gates of heaven
Yea, this sounds really wierd, but that's what I get out of the song when I listen
I never really saw the song in that way until I read your post. I recently had a friend pass away, and now everytime i listen this song, i feel such an inner peace, like i know he probably feels now and afterwards i can't help but smile. His journey isn't over.

I thought this too. The side parade like a funeral procession. Crack of radios like paramedic handy talkies. Cold water cleaning his wounds like he drowned himself... maybe we're just morbid but... this entire album reflected one of my relationships to the letter and at the end of it i wanted to die to turn off the pain. But im here still because im stronger than i let on.
