after darkness kills the light (death)
remembrance of running to the sea (ocean of consciousness)
the burning house and trees (destruction of reality)
'blinded' by the fear- subject misunderstands death as they're dying.
And the river floats beneath your skin- RIVER refers to human connection to the OCEAN of consciousness
Like savage forces kept within- Forces of the universe which the human is at one with
And all is wasted in the sand- Sand of time that consciousness flows through
Like breaking diamonds with your hands- 'You' as in the ocean of consciousness slowly eroding through the bedrock of time.
The second account isn't 'blinded' by fear
I remember running to the sea
Remember falling to my knees
I remember gliding off the shore
Until I touched the ocean floor
Ocean floor is the end of death and beginning of rebirth.
And the river grows inside of me- The feeling of a growing connection to all things/ the universe
This song is talking about life and death.
A past life or imagined death experience.
