In this song, the character turns his brain into a gateway that allows him to see the afterworld. From listening to it, you don't really know if he got to the afterworld by attempting to kill the brain via suicide or by utilizing the brain as a meditative tool to get to the other side. But when he gets through that brain gateway, he hangs with the ghosts for a bit, learns some lessons and comes back. In the end, he gives thanks for the things he did not appreciate prior to leaving, while, at the same time, scolding himself for allowing his brain to overlook all of that beauty in the first place.
Chris Minowa said this in an interview:
