I honestly cannot believe that nobody has left a comment yet...I'm in complete and utter shock. This song is probably one of the best songs of 2009 along with Walking on a dream by Empires of the sun and Sleepyhead by Passion Pit.
I think the meaning of this song is pretty self-explanatory; we all come from the same thing (we are all embers from the same fire.) the video also emphasises this point by showing a time line from the beginning of man 'till today. I reckon the 'through of the devilish things we do' part of the song is refering to the evil that man has created and the 'petty decisions we think will make a difference' part of the song refers to the fact that man wants to make a lasting change but really we, as well as our decisions, are so tiny that we blow away like dust just like 'embers'. Our ideaa don't make a difference because it has already happened before hence the repetitiveness of the song.
Another Great Just Jack track.
PS i think the lyrics are slightly wrong: I think it's 'The fact and the figures they overwhelm and stifle everything...' instead of 'The overwhelming stifling' as this doesn't make much sense.
