I think this song is a pretty moving one, surprised no-one's commented. Well the bonus track on Pause it and turn it up, and machines, I think are both about the death of Simon's mother. I think this song is also on the same thing, but more about a denial of death, the "I don't want to die" line being especially obvious, but also the "we can live forever" being a further denial of the finitude of death.
"we dream of nothing
or so we say
we dream of discovering
a perfect trail"
Perhaps my favourite lyric of the song, I think he doesn't truly believes in an afterlife as he "dream[s] of nothing", but dreams of finding a believe.
"Will we meet again?
I hope somehow."
Really moves me from that point onwards. Great emotional song, and if you think about it a bit has a moving meaning.
