Not to be morbid, but I've always honestly thought this song was about, er, 'releasing one's mortal coil'.
In the beginning of the song, he speaks about returning to the place where he experienced his relationship with his love. In the middle, he reminisces about his experiences in love, and how it changed him. And at the end, he speaks about the life leaving him as he waits to rejoin his love.
"It seems so fitting don't you think
To dress the ground in white and grey."
Symbolizing sorrow, death of both him and his love
"Circumstances afford me
no second chance to tell you
How much I've missed you."
Hints that his lover is deceased, or their relationship is unsalvageable
"I can't forget what we claimed as ours."
His inability to let go of the past, and the fact that it's dragging him down in the present
"No pain remains, no feeling.
Eternity awaits.
Grant me wings that I might fly.
My restless soul is longing.
No pain remains, no feeling.
Eternity awaits."
Him fading from life and waiting to rejoin his lover, the angelic imagery symbolizing him going into the afterlife
Depressing, but still one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
