I agree, this is a beautiful song. To me, it's basically the story of a life. It starts out slow and simple like childhood. It slowly gets more complex, like teens to young adult. Then it builds more interesting with harder guitar riffs and some bass, representing adulthood and responsibility. And in the end, it just suddenly stops. To me this says that no one can predict their death, with the exception of suicide. But even then, it ends suddenly. Beautiful song!
I agree with this interpretation completely, and also think it's worth noting that the CD version of the song ends at exactly the 7 minute mark (7:00). Moby's Christianity and the symbolism of the number 7 suggests that heaven might be just beyond the end of the song.
