i read that the songs for this album were written on a trip to Europe, and i think this is one of the few where that is really obvious. Literally she was walking around and felt this sense of deja vu, went by a cathedral, and realized that she had lived a previous life, or many lives, right there. To me this song is about wearing oneself out in a nihilistic mindset and then coming upon the realization that there is more out there. I don't mean more in the religious sense. I mean, she realizes at a cathedral that she has been reincarnated for heaven's sake; she isn't talking about any specific religion. it's a beautiful song that to me encapsulates that moment when the world makes sense to a person, when their find their purpose, or realize how they are a small part of something bigger.
