i think its about someone dying...

Hey...my first post ever...I love this band so much....yeah Im not really sure what this song is about I have some ideas...but these two lines are keeping me guessing.

"And I will bow gently by your feet But tread softly, you tread on my dreams"

This makes me wonder the most.
