I agree this song can be interpreted according to individuality. Being a believer in God and the soul, it appeals to me in a spiritual way:
I'm coming up only to hold you under
(I'm coming to your funeral to bury you)
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
(I'm coming up only due to social formality, the real you is not there, just the body)
And to know you is hard we wonder
(To really know you as a spirit rather than the body I could always see is difficult for most mortals)
To know you all wrong we were
(We who knew you, incorrectly viewed you as a human, but your true identity is spiritual, beyond the dead body left behind for burial)
Really too late to call
So we wait for morning to wake you
That's all we got
(You died late in the evening, so its too late for others to gather. We wait for morning to begin your wake)
to know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were
(People think the same mundane way about me, they don't see that beneath the surface is the soul, my true self)
At every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral
Every occasion, once more, it's called the funeral
Every occasion, know I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion, oh, one billion day funeral
(But I'm ever ready for that day, when my day comes to die. I know I will go on living on that special day of liberation. It could be any day, any occasion, at any moment... but I'm prepared in a spiritual sense)
To the outside the dead leaves, they're on the lawn
Before they died, had trees to hang their hope
(To the outsider that witnesses death, they only see the dead body, not knowing the faith the individual had, the hope they clung to throughout life, given by God whom they leaned on)
And every occasion
I'll be ready for the funeral
And every occasion once more
It's called the funeral
And every occasion
(I'm ready)
Reading your words I quickly sensed a familiarity that increased with every sentence. Then I started smiling, it was quite clear to me that you were no 'Barbie' (love the 108 by the way, beautiful).

I have only just recently decideed to start looking up songs and reading about what they mean and how others feel about the lyrics. So, its really quite amazing this is one of the first songs I look up. In fact you are the person who gave me the Band of Horses CD......back in August :)

I really cant find the words to describe how i feel to to find YOUR interpretation of this song......you My Brother, HERE and INTERPRETING this particular song.......well there really is only one thing i can say and that is 'HARE KRISHNA' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just today in the mail I received Dad's Navy Service Record from the National Archives of Australia. I'd forgotten sending away for it ......and ......forgotton that I had not opened it yet...so ........ I just opened it NOW while listening to the song.....reading what you had written....
i must not forget to literally BREATH in this moment and the energy of such an auspicious happening between Brother, Sister, our Father and Lord Krishna. WOW!
Sri Krishna, you have touched my heart again.....i am so grateful to have had this connection with you today through my brother Bakti PJ and through his words which are really your words dear KRISHNA.
I have been missing our Father so much recently.....this warms my heart.....HARE KRISHNA.
@Barbie108 .........In going with the idea that this could possibly be God or spiritual related then to me in my mind this song is written in the perspective of the devil himself and the fact that he is always there waiting for us to screw up.
