Never made the Eternal Recurrance connection before, but it makes sense. Prior to reading the previous comment though I thought it was about someone close to him who had died. The "we will never die" part means that the person that is dead still lives on in his heart. The "pieces bleeding through" is saying that the person still has an influence on him, he still feels like he/she is still with him. He will be beside him/her when he dies, perhaps in a literal sense as in being buried beside him/her, or metaphorically as in an afterlife.
