In my opinion, this song is about death.

"I can't be further away from endless life"

  • Pretty self-explanatory. The author realizes that life is approaching it's end - they are about to die.

"Oh my god stars flash before my eyes"

  • The author sees stars flashing. Perhaps they are experiencing some out-of-body thing while fading off towards death. Maybe even transcending into actual space, as some picture the act of death.

"I'm slowly fading into my memories"

  • The author drifts further and further into their memories. As many people believe that this is what happens when you die - all your life flashes before your eyes.

"So slowly fading tonight's the last you'll ever see"

  • Again, self-explanatory - Tonight is the last night you'll ever see. Maybe this is relating to the "stars flash before my eyes". Perhaps the author is watching the night-sky on his very last night alive.

"So slowly dreaming the last time"

  • The author is slowly sinking into his very last sleep.

"Oh my god so many people leaving me behind"

  • The author dies and every1 else keeps living - they are living him behind.

"Oh my god remember all those things you tried to hide"

  • I'm actually not sure about this line. Perhaps while dying, the author is being revealed all the things he or some other person has tried to hide.

On a personal note, this was the first song that got me into Tesseract, and I immediately fell in love with them. So mystical and deep, yet groovy and heavy and fat in sound, like no other band. I was going through some life crisis and personal transformation while I discovered this song, and it helped me transcend everything and become a better version of myself. Pure meditative song!
