I'm dead
I died long ago but my spirit still roams (Incorporeal)
Unwanted in heaven, forgotten in hell as on earth (Incorporeal)
I don't want to stay here, it seams that I'll never be free
Oh can you hear me? (no)

And so
It has come to be that I must wander forever (Incorporeal)
Many things I have seen, empires that rise and then fall (Incorporeal)
A life you live long is simply a moment to me
A tiny drop of water in the sea of eternity

There's no place for me everywhere that I go
Only seems to bring upset and harm
There's one thing that I want and one thing only
Release into the great beyond
Don't want to remember when I was alive
When I held my true love in my arms
For like you I once was, and like me you shall be

When you
Feel a chill in the night perhaps it's me saying hello (Incorporeal)
You're so much like my love though she lived in a long ago time (Incorporeal)
I long to see her for the day when my soul's laid to rest
The peace that I can not find in life, I can find in death

    General Comment:Actually Nick said that he was reading through something (possibly lovecraft for all I can remember) and came across the word incorporeal. He pretty much just made a story about this ghost and his experiences as one. I don't really think this song is meant to be interepreted, but meant to be taken at face value: a ghost story and such.

    People can write from a surrealist point of view, and not everything has to be from the point of view or experiences of the actual writer. I do it all the time if I ever write things. Writing from the perspective of a character or thing that has nothing to really do with yourself really.

    General Comment:Here's how I interpret this song...
    He's dead of course, and wandering the earth in search of the woman he loved as a mortal being. Unfortunately she went to heaven (where he was not wanted). Everywhere he goes, only his sadness is sensed by the living:

    "There's no place for me everywhere that I go
    Only seems to bring upset and harm "

    He is haunting the living (a woman that reminds him of his lost love in particular) for some reason he wishes her to either join him or take his place.

    "For like you I once was, and like me you shall be"

    General Comment:I think its definitely about someone that has died but has not gone to heaven or hell, they are stuck here on earth as a ghost or whatnot... they have been stuck like this for a long time and just want to be released into the afterlife.
