It's how we prepare death and burial, in lyrics it appears surreal that we're buried "in the middle of the street." it's rather sympathetic to death, we're technically placed anywhere, humanity is becoming more and more revolutionized, ironically humans are becoming less and less the priority. "You should know,
what's really going down, below." this indicates the dead, essentially we should be cognizant of the death and how they're treated. We should mourn them not forget them. The song is excessively negative and it does not praise death - "dressed in their best clothes" this scarcely juxtaposes with the other sector of the song, we're almost preparing the dead, for what? heaven/hell. It emerges that dead isn't mournful (anymore); however it's depicted in a different way, or is it looking at the other prospect of death? "rows and rows" suggest there are a myriad and they're merely forgotten. The only remains are their "bones" which is pointless, however they have left their imprint? "basement" "water" "pavement" we're thrown into places which we are besieged by everyday, they're literally thrown anywhere and everywhere. We walk along the pavement, we swim in the water and we use the basement to add additional things in - what's going under, is starkly juxtaposed on what's going up. They're continuing to live, whereas the dead are dead.
Furthermore, "You should know,
that the world was built on bones" is a pivotal sector of the song, it implies humans created the world, and ironically they're being put to death, additionally, the song is preparing us for death. We should know that death is always around the corner, seemingly we're omniscient.
"You should know,
for when down you go " It's referring to us, it's preparing us for death? When we're also plunged into the ground, we'll witness the dead.
