I think this song is about coming to terms with the fact that someone you\'re close to is going to die soon. The realisation that without the soul as a concept to fall back on as a religious person, this is the end for them. \nMaybe the arrows to be pulled out he mentions are those of the irrational contempt we have for the faith of others sometimes, especially so close to death, especially when we (I) have no faith ourselves. \n\nMaybe it\'s better to "leave your burdens at the door", and be there for them because you\'ll "never walk here again".
