Lyrics
When I die I want my soul to go
Expressing a desire for the soul's destination after death.
So high that the clouds are all below
Desiring a lofty spiritual realm where clouds symbolize elevation.
When I die I want my soul to go
Reiteration of the desire for a transcendent afterlife.
So high that the clouds are all below
Continuation of the longing for a spiritually elevated existence.
I know where I want my soul to go
Affirmation of a known destination for the soul after death.
When we fade away into the dirt
Reflection on the inevitability of fading away and the persistence of memories.
All our memories live on dispersed
Noting that memories endure and spread even after physical dissolution.
Locked inside the box that we call life
Metaphorically describing life as a box containing choices and experiences.
It's multi-choice
Life is presented as a multiple-choice scenario with happiness or strife as options.
It's happiness or strife
Acknowledging the dichotomy between happiness and strife in life.
When I die I want my soul to go
Reiteration of the desire for a soul's elevated journey after death.
So high that the clouds are all below
Imagery of clouds below emphasizes the aspiration for a spiritually elevated state.
I know where I want my soul to go
Confident knowledge of the intended destination for the soul.
You can't take what you've got to the grave
Recognition that material possessions cannot accompany one beyond death.
So just live for each day
Encouragement to live each day fully as possessions cannot be taken to the grave.
You can't take what's in this life
Reiteration of the idea that material wealth has no place in the afterlife.
Make the choice, go for the ride
Encouragement to make choices in life and embrace the experiences it offers.
In the end it's me, myself and I
Emphasizing the individual nature of one's journey, with a focus on self.
When I die I want my soul to go
Reiteration of the desire for a soul's elevated journey after death.
So high that the clouds are all below
Reinforcement of the longing for a spiritually elevated existence symbolized by clouds.
I know where I want my soul to go

When I die I want my soul to go
