This is from the Nirvana song All Apologies. Within context of the rest of the song, it seems to suggest the notion of "oneness," a non-dualistic, primarily Buddhist concept that "life (sho) and its environment (e) are inseparable."

Evidence for this interpretation rests not only within the context of the rest of the song (which contains the line, "In the sun, in the sun I feel as one..." within the refrain), but also in the name of the band itself. "Nirvana," another Buddhist concept, is a "state of supreme liberation and bliss," contrasted with the bonds of slavery -- a concept championed by the band through the nature of their new and unique style of music during the early 1990's.
