Death Lyrics

i think this song is just about being afraid of death. (although gimghamgoddess had a very good point about the first verse)

he says "As people drift into a dream world i close my eyes as my hand shake", when he tries to sleep instead of dreaming he thinks about death and gets scared.

"as I speed from, The sense of time catching up with me" i think that means that he wasted so much time being afraid of death.

"Floating neither up or down" could be about the heaven/hell thing.

"Could it drag a tear from your cold eyes?" he's thinking about after he dies would people be sad.

i'm absolutely useless at interpreting lyrics but i heard harry(the main singer) say it was about death and the whole album was so i thought i'd give it a go.
