I'm still not fully satisfied with those Wikipedia-interpretations, because they use to miss some important information.
Anyway, these are Ariel's thoughts on quite everything. After he chased away Mephisto in Black Halo he realizes that love is the only thing that can lead to peace. And in the moment that he realizes that he is fully content. He truly wants this moment to last forever and desires to "linger on" in that "state of still" ... rememer these words? They're from A Feast For the Vain and that means that his deal with Mephisto is completed now. So in Memento Mori Mephisto comes back to take Ariel's soul. If you look at this song from that point of view it seems to be one of the very most important of the whole story, because it directly leads into the finale.
