| The Shins – A Comet Appears Lyrics

Is it possible that "this wiley comet" could be some reference to the "universe" and not the earth? It seems he is talking here about his allegiance to the infinite as opposed to man-made religion. This is possibly the moment where he truly embraces, and begins to struggle with, the idea that he is alone in the universe, and that it is the only real force in this life. That would explain the use of the term "wiley" as well as "having one hand on" it. The next line, "Take a drink just to give me some weight" seems to tie in as well - it gives the feeling of floating in the ether, as it were. |
