Lyric discussion by dustfinger 

no, I'm pretty sure you're right... in various interviews with Tom he's said that people that he knows and is close to died or became ill and that in turn influenced the whole album, and "An End Has A Start" certainly seems to be a clear example of that...

You came on your own That's how you'll leave With hope in your hands And air to breathe

somehow those lines give me the 'going up in white light' sort of image, yet somehow defying death cos of the 'air to breathe' part... waiting for the new album is gonna be torture if the whole CD's as great as this...
