i like to think the first lyric is "in the morning of the wake" which gives meaning to why he struggling with the concept of love and hate. He lost someone very dear to him and all the love they shared cant bring them back. He is lost in despair as even his hate for why the universe let this happened proves futile. In the end he submits to his cosmic insignificance which sets up the conflict in the remaining songs where he tries to recover from this hit to his ego, but instead of returning to his previous ways he comes to an understanding with the fragility and ephemeralness of human life shown primarily in Do You Realize??
