The whole tone of the song seems to suggest that someone has finally realized something.I think it's that TMV, maybe Cedric in particular realized that Goliath is a dangerous waste of time and a drain on the band. As for the ending, I think its the sound of Goliath wishing not to be buried.
"The clocks you set are they reversing.
Before this visit turns conjugal, ever more."
Cedric is telling Goliath that he's going to get rid of it before the two of them end up "married" to each other. This is backed up by reports that Cedric buried Goliath somewhere in secret so it can't be found.
"And I'm nowhere near the place.
You sent me here to breathe.
But I'm drawing closer to the present.
And I'll find a space with no memories.
I've got a second chance to inhabit the living."
This one is pretty literal. A space with no memories is the exact opposite of Goliath, which is a big collection of memories. The band has a second chance to inhabit the living, instead of constantly talking to the past.
"All of this time, bedsore containment.
Where am I now that the music has faded?"
Either Cedric falling out of love with Goliath (hence the conjugal burns), or Goliath admitting that its been using the band and now distraught because they've left it behind.
