Her vocals in this song are so haunting, it literally freaks me out to listen to this song, but it's beautiful nonetheless.
The lyrics clearly hint at a person who has lost their loved one and their home, preoccupied with death and thoughts of their loved one. It's terribly sad. They don't want to be alone when they're dead and buried, even wishing that the person they love could be buried with them, giving up their own life. The situation can be applied to a lot of tragic historical events, such as the Holocaust or, especially, Hiroshima, but it could also fit into more prosaic situations, such everything in your life changing and becoming unrecognizable.
