Well, the christians interpretations have a point, but most people who hear Owl City are non christians and is directed mostly to them. Without any religious content, here is my interpretation: Now, it has many to say the truth. RaffiHour is very accurate, as its inspirational, however, the key for me is in this part: "Way up in the air, you're finally free And you can stay up there, right next to me All this gravity will try to pull you down But not this time." Now, due to that, one can say that it could mean the following: It could be seen as the one who sends the message (the lyrics) has an girlfriend that could have low self-esteem: Close your tired eyes, relax and then Count from one to ten and open them All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down But not this time Bassically here he is saying: Relax, forget about all what has happened to you. He is encouraging her to relax and to calm down. Way up in the air, you're finally free And you can stay up there, right next to me All this gravity will try to pull you down But not this time He means that with him, she can be herself, and that she can be happy and free with him. The gravity could be a metaphor about her sad toughts comming back and not allowing her to be happy with him. When the sun goes down, and the lights burn out Then it's time for you to shine Brighter than a shooting star, so shine no matter where you are Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light 'cause it's time for you to shine Brighter than a shooting star, so shine no matter where you are, tonight. It may mean that with him, she will shine and be as good as possible. Her pain will be forgotten and she will show the world how great she is, and she will no longer feel bad about herself. Gaze into my eyes, when the fire starts And fan the flames so hot, it melts our hearts Oh, the pouring rain will try to put it out But not this time It talks about their love, their passion for each other and how they warm each other hearts. The rain may mean their conflicts and differences. Let your colors burn and brightly burst Into a million sparks that all disperse And illuminate a world that'll try to bring you down But not this time He is urging her to show how good she is to the world and to color the lifes of others. He is also telling her that people will not agree with her or hate her, but to not to give up Thats my toughts |
