The soul-to-body message stands out distinctly to me. The lines during my favorite part of the song make this hypothesis plausible. "Du bist das Schiff, ich der Kapitän." means you are the ship, I am the captain. The soul is the captain of the ship that is the body.
"Ich seh' im Spiegel dein Gesicht", I see your face in the mirror, also points out who he is addressing, the body he sees in the mirror.
