The entire album is about the dreams and visions of a young hit and run victim in NYC before he dies and merges with God. Our hero is a Puerto Rican gang-member spray painting things on walls. As he walks down Broadway, he sees a strange vision of a lamb lying down. He wonders what it means, but it's God warning him that he's about to die. He is struck by a truck which sends him flying. His life flashes in front of his eyes as he lapses into a coma. From now on, what he sees in his deepest mind is his only world. The Carpet Crawlers are his thoughts swimming up toward the light, he's trying to wake up. Instead he enters another stranger dream about his deepest fears. He keeps seeing his brother, who possibly died earlier. In the end he passes away from a world he no longer can see, and becomes one with God, or It. The album is about how we take life for granted until it is lost. And even a gang-member is vulnerable and child-like at the end. The Lamb came to conduct him to a spirit world that he recked little of before his life was snuffed out by random fate. It is you, it is me.
