Story Behind the Song
To me, this song is partly about a drug experience. Mostly it is about the idea of one passing on to another life after death and experiencing such things as seeing white light or seeing God, and how even though I was supposedly near-death I experienced none of those.
Lyrics
Feelin’ blue, ready to lose
Dead man crew, a force to abuse
Take it down, swallow the sound
Lusty eyes, feel my demise
And I don’t feel the alarm
But I don’t feel warm
Sins regress for penance lost
Coma dreams, worth the cost
Taking back for my lack of faith
Firey eyes, falling from grace
Belie my pains, a simple escape
Red-room memory erased
Seeing black, never to take back
Step left or right, on the right track?
Good father can’t you see?
There is no one lonelier than me
I need someone to tell me right from wrong
I need someone to sing me the swansong
I need someone in harmony to hum
I need someone to help me come undone
To tell you the truth, I never wanted to die
To tell you the truth, I never told a lie
A sensation my demise
Dreaming ever heavenward to a father in the sky
But I find it hard to believe that my body nearly came to be but dust
Committed to the ground
And on the edge of white, it was black as blackest night
No warm embrace to greet me when I arrive
To tell you the truth, it really makes me sick
To tell you the truth, it really makes me sit and think
To tell you the truth, there’s something here inside
To tell you the truth, I always tell a lie
