Cover art for Keep No Score lyrics by Sleeping At Last

"In death, there are hidden, invisible keys that only when swallowed reveal where they lead" means to me that in the concept of death, there is so much uncertainty and unknown things that along the way of life there are things revealed to us, and it is up to us and our ego to sit, soak it in, and comprehend them. Or, we can push it aside and try things our own way. But if we accept what is handed to us, believing it is for a certain reason, it will reveal where we need to go/be at that point in time.

"Life is a mess we wake up to, a single thread of a deeper truth. Is this a graveyard to bury her heart? Or is it a garden where new life will start" Again, to me, this means that we always view life as complicating and hurtful, but really it is just a part of the bigger picture. Everything about life deals with allegory about death. And you can either view death in two ways: you die, you get buried, all is lost and you are forgotten and that is it. Or when you die, your spirit continues to grow(garden) and the afterLIFE begins, the truth of it all.
