This is a profoundly beautiful song. For me, it helps me deal with the guilt I feel not being more there for people, closing my own heart at times, and ways I've fooled myself into thinking one person will fulfill me, and the mystery of life and death, and a deep, abiding sense of meaning and sweetness , the sense that The Whole of LIfe is so beautiful and valuable that it makes all the tough stuff worth enduring. We just have to find a way to bravely "look the whole thing in the eye", so we can sail high one more time after each episode of swinging low.
