Snow Patrol – The Finish Line Lyrics 16 years ago
I think this is someone who has died.
"The earth is warm next to my ear
Insects noise is all that I hear
A magic trick makes the world disappear
The skies are dark, they're dark but they're clear"
This is when he is buried and his soul is leaving his body.

"A side parade, with a single balloon" is his funeral.
"I feel like I am watching everything from space" he's watching it all from far away, seeing his own body on earth.
"And in a minute I hear my name and I wake" God in Heaven (or whatever you believe will happen) is going to say his name and wake him.
