When I hear this song, I think of my grandma. I think about how we were so upset when she died, but how Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead simply by speaking to him. Not that I picture my grandma literally coming back to mortal life ( I wouldn't want her to suffer any longer), but how she's only "asleep" for a moment, until she's woken by His presence and brought into eternal life ("Climb from your grave into the light").
Also, I think of Jesus' crucifixion and the effect it had on some of His followers ("You are not the only one who feels like the only one").
Then, in the "head noise" part with the alarms and ticking, I think of the third day when He rose again. It was like God was waking Him up, saying "Arise, rise, rise, rise....shine! Shine!" proving His promised victory over death.
"He's shining on us now!"
