I am a huge Shearwater fan, and I have to say for me, this is one of their best songs. The lyrics blend so well with rhythm and vice versa.
For me, this song is a great example of "nothing lives forever", and that includes us as people. Everyone inevitably will pass on in life-"and a forever life, is an infinite lie, hung wide." It seems like a message where no matter what you do in life, you're going to die sometime, and it would make sense to treat that time as precious thing.
