i dont know why the person would be goin to hell if "in the begining you'll fear nothing" i think its more along the lines of vampires and living forever. but i may be wrong

I agree with Dray, but might I add a few things, I believe that In flames is speaking out against the thought of an afterlife in this song. Many people want an afterlife or eternal life and believe that it will make them happy. In flames is asking the question who would really want to live forever after all. We are all here now, and it wasnt our choice to be here, now we have to face an afterlife for eternity where we will never be able to completely live a real life again(never die again, never be alone again), which leaves us stuck in the hell of existing forever and nothing can help us now, not even ourselves.

My guess is their not referring to any state of being related to religion, its referring to that at life you only get one shot "YouŽll never be alone again YouŽll never die again YouŽll never be born again YouŽll forever be, stuck here in eternity" And hes just elaborating on the emptiness of life that lots of people go through when they slip into the darkness of a depresion that never seems to leave them

Either way this song is really deep! You guys made some good points. I think that they are refrring to purgatory just according to the last part "I will transfer you into the bare grip of thinking twanquility Voices frilling the emptiness of the dead floating Seamless across the surface into chilling stillness Nothing can help you now" I think Lunar Strain/Subterranian were some of the best written songs but the production wasnt as great so many people dont really listen to those CDs.

the first word that comes in mind when i read these lyrics are: limbo the song is not really that clear to me, one thing i know for sure is that the I-figure is not actually a person.

i think the song is referring to human life being a small part of existance,w e fear nothing as we're alive, but as we get older we fear death, and after death there is nothing, just existance, no afterlife, youre just dead and cant do anything
