My feeling is that this song is about dying. There are lots of references to Christ and Christianity, saying your good byes to life, seeing things from outwordly perspective. It is unimaginably beautiful, like written by someone who lived through dying, who died before. Most of it cant be explained logically, just felt - what is the meaning of great poetry anyway. many of our human experiences can ve expressed only thorough the paradox - "The lie in what is holy, the light in what's not". It is torn, like in birth, like a mother's body is torn for the baby to come through. Death as rebirth, death as birthing oneself - it is incredibly strong, both cerebral and emotional, almost hard to keep experiencing it...
