WELL THIS IS ABOUT MY GRANDFATHERS COFFIN. IT IS A PHILOSOPHICAL ACETPTANCE OF DEATH. IT IS ABOUT OTHER THINGS BUT IT SAYS IT IS OK. WE ALL MUST GO SOME DAY AND GRIEF IS NORMAL AND SHOUD END IN HAPPY MEMORIES AND RESOLVE. SORT OF A PARADOX IN THE LYRICS

I ONCE HAD A FRIEND, A VERY GOOD FRIEND
WHO DID NOT KNOW WHERE HE WAS GOING
HE’D FALL INTO LOVE AND THEN CRASH AND BURN
HE WENT DOWN THAT ROAD NEVER SLOWING

AND I SAW HIM FADE BUT I COULD NOT HELP
AS EACH ONE COULD NOT HELP THE OTHER
THEN ONE DAY I SAW A SHORT TIME AGO
WHAT HAD BECOME OF MY BROTHER

AND THEN IN FRONT OF ME WAS HIS LIFE
THERE WAS HIS LIFE THERE ENDS HIS LIFE
IN THE BOX

I ONCE HAD A GIRL, A VERY GOOD GIRL
WHO WENT OUT OF THE DOOR NEVER KNOWING
THE ROAD AT YOUR DOOR CAN TAKE YOU AWAY
TO PLACES YOU SHOULD NOT BE GOING

SHE WAS A GOOD LOVE, A VERY GOOD LOVE
SHE WENT DOWN THAT ROAD NEVER ENDING
SHE NEVER LOOKED BACK WAS NEVER THE SAME
SHE NEVER GOT OVER US ENDING

AND THEN ONE DAY IN FRONT OF
THERE WAS HER LIFE
THERE WAS HER LIFE
THERE ENDS HER LIFE
IN THE BOX

NOW TIME IT HAS PASSED
AND TIME WILL GO ON
BUT FRIENDS DON’T RETURN FROM THIS PLACE
YOU STILL HEAR THEIR NAMES
YOU STILL SEE THEIR SMILES
BUT YOU’LL NEVER SEE THEM FACE TO FACE

AND THEN ONE DAY YOU’LL SEE
THAT THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT

AND THERE YOU WILL BE
THERE YOU WILL BE
THERE ENDS YOUR LIFE
IN THE BOX
