this song is about how death is just a phase in the process of existence. it's also from the perspective of a person who is already dead, albeit only recently. i know ben does some random things with his music and lyrics but this isn't one of them. he gives several clues. i mean, when he says out of the ground i rise to grace. obvious reference to death right there. at the very end he says I'M DRAINED. TIME TO FAKE AND DELAY. WATCH THE PENNY DROP. LET IT GO UP AND IN DROP, THEN EATCH IT ROLL. LET'S ALL MOURN TIL I SURVIVE INSIDE YOU. there are several references to dying in that part. first, when he says i'm drained. then he talks about the pennies. many cultures have put pennies over the eyes of their dead to pay the boat man to ferry them across the river styx into the underworld. then, the most obvious reference to the fact that the person is dead "lets all mourn til I survive inside you."
