Lyrics
From the cradle to the grave
Destined to break like the waves
Existence is so threatening
It takes a fierce grace to crack us open
A moment sat with our sentencing
And the light comes flooding in
Oh, the light comes flooding in
When the leaves fall in the spring
May all the beggars be blessed
Like angels with anhedonia
We’re all just doing our best
Repeating ‘there’s nothing left’
That’s why we weed out the wonderers
Maybe there’s virtue in emptiness
But I still drown in distress
When the leaves fall in the spring
With the ravens here to stay
And the doves all flying away
Sedation feels so welcoming
In the subtle space there’s an endless ocean
But the devils sing and it’s deafening
What a world we’re living in
Oh, we’re never listening
When the leaves fall in the spring
I’ve got a lot to lose
But I won’t lie to you
And make believe sincerity
I’m praying for a remedy
Beloved distant blue
One day I’ll die for you
And swim in sweet serenity
‘Cause death is not my enemy

Looking at the earth(the distant blue) and he talks about it being our first home, our problems, religion etc. In this whole album its about his return to earth and how all that he sang about before is happening and has happened. Its a warning for us. He now doesnt fear death because then all thats come about will finally cease and he/we will be at peace.

[@Its_Mattie]

Death is something you can't avoid, there will be one day that it will happen. So the easy thing to say is "get over it", but if you really developed an phobia for it, you might consider looking up a therapist, and talk about it. Don't fret about it too much, again, maybe easier said than done. Just live your life the way you want. Do the things you wanna do. But don't let it drag you down.
