I think that the lyrics refers to reencarnation. Getting an image of a place where we have been in a past life but not knowing exactly where it is. The images that you get in your mind are a better description of the place than a thousand words.

The first time we leave "source", when are born, we divide in two halves. That's the twin soul some people mention from time to time. Maybe the girl out there looking for it too is his other half.

I think that the lyrics also mention doubts about the final destination of a soul after death. Is life over when we die or does our soul keep on living from life to life.

He really doesn't believe in any of this but if one day he sees a ghost that proves that live doesn't cease when our bodies die he won't be afraid of dying anymore. He will let himself go when death shows up and become a person from the past.

At the end, it doesn't really matter if life ends with death or we perpetually reencarnate. Love always remains in the good things we have done on earth and if there is an afterlife and even many other lives we will carry those memories and feelings along with us in our trip through eternity.

(or maybe he opened aleatory pages and chose random words from a Edgar Alain Poe book, whatever)
