If Type O Negative is one of your favorite bands (and they are in my top 3), then you likely relate to the complex emotion of Steele's lyrics that often convey love, beauty, hatred, self-loathing, obsession and humor all within the same song.
I think this song is the common emotion of "wishing the moment would never end", except Steele expresses this in the idea of "girl, I want to die with you"...the moment would never end because he'd die in her arms. Of course, that isn't what happens here, but Steele has away of making the idea of death romantic and sensual.
In interpret the line "lay your head down for the last time" to relate to both a last night together and Steele's secret wish that they might die there together rather than be seperated.
Also, there is no denying the AWESOME vocal performance during this line. Everytime Peter sings "lay" I get shivers. What an amazing vocal instrument that man has!
