quite possibly, the song is about the death of a soulmate. "Those wedding bells are ringing up upon that hill And I don’t wanna swallow such a bitter pill You keep on moving, but, I stay still But I always loved you and I always will" The person remembers the day he was married to his wife, he doesnt want to swallow the bitter pill that is her death, she moves on to the next life, while he stays alone in this one, and quite obviously, he will always love her. "Days of no sleeping Caked in mud All kinds of poison in my blood I lost the only thing I ever loved" No sleeping due to grief and sadness over death, "caked in mud"- stuck in the moment, cant move on, doesnt feel right, etc., same with "poison in my blood", feeling sick w/ grief, and obviously he lost the only thing he ever loved, his soulmate. "Oooh… I heard them ringing and processioning by Umbrellas in the clear blue sky I saw you swimming in that sea of white Oooh…" FUNERAL procession, remembering wedding bells, some people have umbrellas at funerals, "swimming in that sea of white" could mean the most recognized color of a wedding, or the white sheets upon which she lay "floating" in the casket, or something like that. "And wedding bells ringing up upon that hill And I don’t wanna swallow such a bitter pill You keep on moving, baby, I stay still I always loved you and I always will Ooooh… I loved you and I see it still I always loved you and I always will Singing, lalalalalalalalala…" Same as before. "If everything that went before didn’t matter, so Lalalalalalaaa…. I always loved you and I always will" Cant quite get my head around this one. thoughts?
