Life is cut down and stilled
in the midst of time [1]

into a double helix. [2]

[1] The words for "cut down and stilled" sound like the word for "flows", so the verse carries a double meaning: life both flows through time and ends in time.
[2] The double helix refers to DNA. DATEKEN's implied message is that people are ferries in the river of time conveying genes and culture.
[3] DATEKEN reported that the phrase in the chorus came to him while lying half-awake in bed in the morning.
