I feel, even as an atheist, that this is a song about a perception of afterlife. I feel at the start that he's talking about how your life on earth was not very pleasant, then goes on to explain how great afterlife is. And that in this afterlife, nothing you knew from your life on earth applies anymore "there's no heat, there's no expansion", "No fingers in my hair", when he goes on to say "there's no ceiling in the mansion" I believe he is saying this afterlife is limitless. "No waste, no hesitation" meaning everything in this afterlife is good and you don't have to worry about a thing. The line "No crack of dawn, no morning, just an everlasting warming" once again shows that the stuff you knew on earth no longer applies and that the afterlife is an "everlasting warming", a good thing. Great song.
