This song-the entire album-is a total work of art. Basically, it's like John Henry says, this album is about making life worth living, and deals with all these different emotions in the process. Tranquil is just bringing it to a close, the rebirth...it's stated in the first line 'this decaying flesh is coming back to life,' who he was has died, and he is now a new person.
The long instrumental outro of the the song is absolutely brilliant, as is the entire song itself. I love that the song brings the album to a close perfectly, and how it fades out in the same manner that "With a Thousand Words to Say But One" faded in.
The entire album is structured perfectly, and there's so much emotion (without being whiny cut-your-wrists sort of thing) that it's like someone punched you in the chest at some points throughout this album. The emotion in some of the songs hits me so hard it's not even fair.
Favorite album of all time, I'm not kidding.
I love John Henry
(I can say that totally guilt free and honestly, because my boyfriend has the same name :D)

Haha I agree with you. This is probably my favorite album ever lyrically though I did love Deliver Us. Their newest cd sucks though.
