This song is all about not allowing your loved one to move on and transcend either in the afterlife or in their life on earth. The main character refuses to move on and wants that love to last forever. He's willing to be hated for holding onto lost love. Finally the loved one says "release me, my love". The main character still doesn't want to move on, which is sad...tragic. Sleeping close to heaven - as good as it gets but not true bliss..
