Cover art for The First Full Moon lyrics by Sufjan Stevens

Perhaps this is an allusion to creation and the choice man was givin between sin and the inverse. The choice that resulted in his fall and subsequent loss of eternal life.

Putting away of clothes, going back to the origonal trust in God without our own cover, our shame.

Do you mean it? Do you, God, mean that we have to die?

then,

Do you mean it? HAve you really come to save us?

The choice between salvation and otherwise.

This is vague, i feel like I'm groping in the dark.
