A song about loss of faith, or about losing the desire to live. I'm inclined toward the former, but the latter is interesting too, as it employs a metaphor that life is a dream and to wake is death. I'm not sure about the significance of the orchids. The whispered passage starting with "Turn to me..." seems to be God giving the writer a choice - turn to me and accept all I have, accept this cruel world as sane, or turn from me and assure your own destruction."
