I do not understand the song.
Is it supposed to be a metaphor?
Can someone explain?

Yes. Not quite a metaphor, but similar, that just as with the twins in the womb that they don't comprehend the world beyond them, neither do we.
Olam hazeh and olam Haba

Yes. People say this life is all there is, and after we die there is nothing, when really eternal life begins after we die. Just like in the song, one baby believes whatever he sees is all there is to life and doesn't believe there is anything afterwards. Meanwhile his twin brother is born and begins his life and the twin still in the womb mourns for his brother who "died."

100 percent metaphor.

Is this the one about two babies talking to each other about whats outside the womb, and what exists out there?

I think the point it's driving home is that we fear death, and we view it as the "end" when in reality, it's just the beginning. The lives we are living now are just a preparation for the true world, the Olam Haemes, that is to come. We are all in the womb.

It’s taken from a Sefer. I once knew which one... (about 30! years ago!)
Maybe gesher hachaim?
I’m sure it’s in the original jacket cover.
It’s about twins in a womb about to enter this world and many years later when the neshamos exit the world. They are having a conversation with a Malach and with each other.
Very powerful...

I think you’re confusing this song with the song “Dear Malach’l”.

One of my favourite songs! I actually see it as galut Vs geulah, not death.

Hey, who you calling old? Tongue Out

The Journeys series may have aged somewhat, but it still contains some of the best Jewish music ever put to track.

Oh yes I love those songs so much, I grew up with them and they give all the feels when I hear them... this one, and come with me little neshamale, ride the train... ah...
The atheist convention 😍
Ok basically all.
