I think there's nothing to support the theory that this song is about wanting to die with someone and movitz's and bloodflowers' theories on the subject are just being overly emo. In fact if you actually read the lyrics you'll see that Robert specifically says a lot of stuff that's just the opposite such as the words "a DEATHLESS spell" or in the lines "slide into deep black waters" which would imply drowning under normal circumstances, however he adds the lines "and breathe . . . and breathe". Honestly this song is filled with nothing more but some of the most beautiful analogies for sleep and nothing more.
I always picture this song as two lovers spending the night with each other and no wanting to go to sleep and have to wake p in the morning and leave each others sides again.
