Lyric discussion by Shane Strife 

I disagree, with MaxH. Nathan Winneke stated this about the album, "A Natural Death is about the futility and arrogance of creation and destruction, the overwhelming scale of space and time, and the brutal majesty of nature, the horror of birth and the beauty of death. Everyone who will ever live will die a natural death, and will soon after be forgotten for eternity." Tl;dr: Most of the songs in this album have to do with death.

The phrase "I walk south" is an old term used to describe someone going insane. The song is most likely about a guy murdering (or at least attempting to murder) his girlfriend after chasing her around New York City. The video may or may not be related to the song.

That would contradict the ending: "We embrace..." unless in his vision, his "embracing" her is him actually murdering her.

An error occured.
