There are some secondary metaphors here. "Like satin in a coffin" - You have the "like" aspect of what the "You" on the floor is. "Satin in a coffin," however, on it's own, is a wordplay. Satin: luxury, refinement, wealth. what good is it really if it's lining a coffin? In other words... "You're lying there looking (sounding) pretty, too bad you're dead" or "What you're saying sounds so pretty, so good - too bad it's bullshit (hollow)." Same goes for the dissolving into coffee phrase. Usually sugar disolves into coffee, it's sweet, but dissapears, dies, dissolves. MM seems to have an anti-material bent, what good is anything? Air, oceans? But I think that they're double-edged, why complain, just enjoy it, enjoy the satin, the sugar - even if it is all just ending in death. What's the point of being depressed over the inevitable? MM might have struggled over that for a while... I think this album deals w/ that struggle in part.
The stuff that is our coffin is that no matter what we line our coffin with ie luxurious things which pollute the Earth, it doesn't matter because we are going to die in it anyway, pair this with the hope that you are dead and not just sleeping says that I hope there is nothing after this life because this place, the lining of your coffin, has been turned to shit, even though in your zombie or sleepwalking stupor you think it is luxurious, and to face the consequences would be torturous.
