I've come to terms with the fact that this song is about death... But, has anyone thought that there may be a religious feel near the end of the song? To me, the line "Well I can make your face brand new" can represent that rebirth given in a religious afterlife, in lieu of looking at it from a mortuary science standpoint. Also,"Come take my hand, and I'll take your hand. And I will bring you out. Come take the line, and I'll take the line. And I will pull you out. In the Sun...", all of this seems to reflect that same motif... The symbolic grasping of the hands, the beautiful yet powerful sun, that uplifting presence. Perhaps it's not religious, per se, but I feel there is more beauty than just that sadness and fear... That's just some food for thought.
I was discussing that this evening actually after playing the song on my guitar to my wife earlier today. I do think the light could be the warmth of the afterlife reaching out to the deceased. Or the hand of God of whatever you believe him/her to be reaching out for you.. Nonetheless. The song is about positivity, and not at all a grim and gloom story.. to me, it's about moving to the next chapter of life. Whether it's while we're on earth or beyond.. definitely spiritual. I absolutely love the song.
