I think there's some underlying story to Deadwing... remember Arriving Somewhere, but Not Here? Okay, so here goes...

"The last thing you hear as you're fading out is a song"

Maybe this song had a mellotron in it, and the person narrating that song is the girl in this tale... the mellotron brings her sad memories of the person who died in Arriving. I'm thinking her mother, since the person in this song tells her not to look at him with her mother's eyes.

So maybe this song's guy was in love with her mother at first? Or maybe it's her father speaking?

Speculative thought my dears. Nothing meant one way or another.

And the ending... freaking... ROCKS... a capella is powerful when used correctly!
