This song is a song about dealing with and experiencing the loss of someone to death. The first two verses are about the empty meaninglessness that a person experiences. "Lost the meaning of our stay" really captures that idea. "We can't hide our shame, it's only in disguise" ... "Fool our thoughts as though we're free" These lines describe the feeling we can have after someone dies. There's this awareness that death is right there around the corner for all of us and we just pretend to not be aware of it but really it's there the whole time. It's that empty, hollow feeling that nothing we do will matter because we're all going to disappear eventually.
These thoughts continue through the chorus where the mourning cry of a mother expresses that pain as we try to crawl through life ignoring our own mortal destiny. Some days are better than others because we find better ways to pretend it's not true but that's during the day.
At night when we sleep,that's when the rest of the world dies. Meaning in our dreams we often revisit those who have passed on and it's just the two of you. The rest of the world seems not to exist anymore and in this place that's only in our mind we can feel the presence of that person who is lost to us during our waking hours. That's the place where the lost loved one seems so real you can touch their face.
At night it's not you running from death but the sadness of death runs away, you are able to run away with your loved one.

You are so right. I lost my son - beautiful inside and out age 34 - he touched so many lives by his infectious personality - make me laugh and sing but now I seem to only want to cry. Especially with this song! So much hidden or veiled meaning that only one whose heart has been ripped apart by this hell can truly get it. The haunting music and tortured cry in his voice - says it all.
The world dies so I can find that special place my dreams can take me - if I’m lucky - to...
