Joy In Repetition

Before you groan in disdain, this is not merely a "Joy in Repetition Appreciation Thread" that has been done to death around these parts. What exactly does the titular phrase of this song mean?

"Holding someone is truly believing there's joy in repetition."

Is it simply a reference to the repetition of the two words, 'love me'? Or is something more ethereal? I ask this because in my personal opinion it's perhaps the most uncanny, sublime line that he has ever written, and I know that many Orgers will agree with me on that.

I think it means that through eternity true loves will come back around and when they go diggin' in Egypt they will be able to pick up their old lover bones that are still hugging eachother...I think that is sweet. cool
