I think that, keeping it brief, this song is a narration. It is a narration of something, whether it be a person or not, I don't know, but it's meant to be something beautiful. That's clear from the title and the very gentle opening. Afterwards, the song seems, to me, to deteriorate, not in quality, but in the condition of this beauty that this entity holds. It is the slow and regretful death of something beautiful, and you can feel a sorrow in every last breath until the song goes silent and the beauty is dead. The song really can get me choked up if I sit quietly through the silence. After, there is a sort of resurrection, which comes through as a more violent sound, and this represents something else that is beautiful in its own right. As a whole, the song is about beauty, deterioration, and where beauty dies and IF beauty truly dies. This is just how I see it!
