I think to look at it that way actually dilutes the meaning. In the plain sense, the lyrics serve as a reference to the astral/umbral eras; a continuous cycle of death and life, and the inherent futility in that, and also the restriction on finding meaning - or "answers" - in such a futile and vicious cycle, a cycle which nobody really can know and understand, at least with only a "fleeting moment" in which to understand it.

Whereas, if you look at it as a collection of nouns, each one representing one of the Twelve, it's not very meaningful. Really. But I suppose it's coincidental all the same. And I guess it ties everything together.
