Lyrics
I stare into the eyes of sleep
I contemplate the state of sleep
The never waking
The state of never waking or consciousness
Two feet wide and six feet deep
Describing a grave, two feet wide and six feet deep
My new realm waiting
Referring to the afterlife or a new realm awaiting in death
Beneath the flowers and the fields
Below the surface, among the flowers and fields
That's where my new journey begins
Beginning a journey into the afterlife
The roots are embracing me now
Describing burial, with roots symbolizing connection to the earth
Feel the warmth of the earth somehow
Sensations of warmth from the earth
The priest close the door, shuts the light
Symbolic act of closing the door on life, led by a priest
The undertaker smiles
The undertaker expressing satisfaction or contentment
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
A common phrase acknowledging the return to dust after death
I gaze into infinity, a world of dreamers
Gazing into an endless space, possibly reflecting on existence
I left behind the cruelty of non believers
Leaving behind the harshness of those who lack belief
Beneath the flowers and the fields
Reiteration of being beneath flowers and fields, signifying death
My kingdom opens up to me
The afterlife opening up as a kingdom
The roots are embracing me now
Continuation of the burial process with roots embracing
Feel the warmth of the earth somehow
Feeling the comforting warmth of the earth
The priest close the door, shuts the light
Symbolic closure of life's door by a priest, extinguishing light
The undertaker smiles
The satisfaction or contentment of the undertaker
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Reiteration of the phrase "Ashes to ashes and dust to dust"
Come dream with me, eternally
An invitation to join in eternal dreaming
I'll be your savior
Offering to be a savior in the dreamlike state
Beneath the fields, flowers and trees
Being in perpetual slumber beneath nature's elements
We'll sleep forever
Desire for eternal sleep among flowers, fields, and trees
The roots are embracing me now
Continuation of the burial process, with roots providing embrace
Feel the warmth of the earth somehow
Sensation of warmth from the earth persisting
The priest close the door, shuts the light
Symbolic act of closing the door on life, led by a priest, extinguishing light
The undertaker smiles
Contentment or satisfaction expressed by the undertaker
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Reiteration of the phrase "Ashes to ashes and dust to dust"
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Final repetition of the phrase, emphasizing the inevitability of death
