Tat Twam Asi Lyrics

Could the title, and the whole song for that matter, be based on the Sanskirt phrase "Tat Tvam Asi'? This can be translated a few ways, but the common one seems to be "That art thou".

The meaning is that the Self (you, your spirit, your body, your mind etc.) are the same or identical to all existence (that is your reason for being).

The song lyrics seem to suggest that perhaps this is a philosophical view of life, death and the Self.
