I think the last verse is about death/after-life/heaven or whatever. When he dies he aint gonna be "trapped in a box" he is gonna be somewhere nice which is what he is describing, also "I'll not fear no fear"..whats there to fear after you die?

Dont mean to put a black mark on a fucking beautiful n happy song tho haha!

I think it could have many meanings. To me, I think it could be about death and how you want to escape the weight and reality of the situation and go peacefully. Or it could be about just escaping any painful situation in general and putting mind over matter. Whatever its about, the lyrics are beautiful and poetic. I love this song so very much.

@5upanov4 i agree, I think this song is about reality and life after death.
