The song is about death and social progress. We have our time in the world, we build on the work of those who came before us, then we die. Those who came before are part of us in a way, and we'll be part of those who come after us. The title refers to that duality. I love this song. It's beautiful and haunting.
The lyric is "Out on loan from the beyond."
