Wow I can't believe no one has commented on such a wonderfully intricate song as to its meaning. Probably because Strfkr isn't nearly as well known as they should be. As with any song it can be interpreted several different ways but watching the video and really listening to and now just having read the lyrics it seems to have a definite theme of re-birth, I mean even the title is an allusion to it.
"I know
Nothing ever keeps you safe for sure
No one ever dug down so far
We go
Where heroes dropped their bones outside
No one ever knew I made it
No one ever"
my interpretation:
Although we all have the illusion that we are stagnant and everlasting things are bound to change. We'll never actually be safe because we exist in such a diverse universe which will always change whether we like it or not.
Many heroic souls have tried to live forever but all have failed. (They "left their bones outside" in this volatile universe).
And no one ever realizes the essential fact that life cannot exist without change. We are a raging river, not a stagnant pond.
"Believe
Nothing ever rose up
Gone to see you through
No one even noticed
A new world clouded out the sun
No one ever ___
Death to set me free"
my interpretation:
Nothing has ever outlived the universe despite the fact that they feel a sense of eternity in themselves (however people don't realize that we have and will again exist, but after a while we just has to move on from the physical place where we happen to land).
This new world that we live in has "clouded out the sun" both physically with pollution and metaphorically by keeping us blind to our real spirituality.
Whenever it is our time to die we will be set free of this chaotic physical world in which we live.
