Cover art for Fault Line lyrics by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Anybody think he's already died and is going to the afterlife in this song?
He's standing with his dying bed, maybe his father's already dead so he's racing to his father's dead. He's lying in the bright lights, out of body experience, looking at his body and his shadow.

He's drowning in the rising tide. His spirit is moving through the window to the river (River Styx) and he sees the lights on the other side...

I just saw No Country for Old Men again it makes me think of the last scene where he talks about meeting his father after he dies.
