My take on this song is that it represents a person who is grieving for the loss of someone who is very close to them. Here are my interpretation of the lyrics: "And I fly Further away Than I've ever been before It's safe to say This sky Is lonely and grey" - This represents the person trying to go through their lives normally. they try to "fly" through their daily routines but they find that world or "sky" is empty without the person that they loss. "But every night I feel your gravity waves And the world is cold But it's beautiful I wish you were here now I miss your soul" - These lines indicate that person still remembers their loved one every night either though their memories or through their dreams. They lament the fact that they are experience all of life's hardships and successes by themselves without their loved one. "But you lost your light When the darkness called" - This points that the person that they are missing really has died. where the "darkness" refers to death claiming their soul or their "light". "But I stand here waiting The last to fall" - This line indicates the person's desire to live on with their lives to the fullest. also indicating that this may also what their loved one would have also wanted. "And I fly Above the enslaved My soul is burning Like an earth reclaimed And I try A final crusade This world is changing But I'm still the same" - These lines indicates that they are fortunate for they have many opportunities to succeed in life. opportunities that others "the enslaved" could only dream of. The person says that they will try to take these opportunities to live their lives to the fullest. even though they still feel the pain of losing someone. they will try to move on because they fear that the world will leave them behind as they are stuck in their memories of the past. "And will you be bold Will you lose control? I could never desert you I could never let go If you fall in line And the zenith calls I'm standing waiting The last to fall" -The person still laments on the memory of losing their loved one, referring to when they died and went to the "zenith" or the sky. but still saying that they will still move on with their lives until death will take them too as the "last to fall". "It's your magnetic hold A gravity pull I can feel you in waves When your melody comes It falls from above I will not be afraid" - These lines show that the person has lived their life and may be nearing death themselves. they say that they can feel their loved one calling for them from "above" or from heaven. the last line states that they are satisfied with their life and is no longer afraid of death because they can finally be reunited with their loved one. |

For me I find that this song explores peoples tendency to hide their flaws. In this social media dominated world all we see in celebrities are these "perfect" people. They will only shows their best traits while hiding their flaws. I know this applies to many people myself included, who are uncomfortable with who they are, and they try to weave a facade they they interpret to be accepted in society. I found these hints in the lyrics: "And as trapped as we are, it's the devil we know The exceptions we make will never be shown" - We are trapped in our made up image that we try to pass of as who we are. This leads to us shutting in our flaws and weaknesses which eventually boils over as bad habits and often depression. "To the rest of the world, what we touch turns to gold" -This line represents our tendency to portray a "perfect" version of ourselves who can do no wrong. "For a moment, we freeze But if ever there's a full moon breaking It's painting our faces" - These lines represent the un-sustainability of our "perfect" image, because in life we will always face situations and endeavours that will test our character which is symbolised by the "full moon" that happens rarely but always happens nonetheless. "We won't know (Won't know) Which way (Which way) The sky will turn" - These lines represent the nature of struggles that we face. these situations can either break us or develop us as individuals. in other words these situations will cause our worlds or "sky" to turn for the better or worse. "We're at the blood eclipse And we can't look away" - These lines signifies that one of these situations has arrived that will test our real selves "the sun" and our facade "the moon" when they clash with each other we get an "eclipse". the blood eclipse symbolises that this situation has broken us. "It's like a car crash burning At the edge of the earth" - These lines indicate that this endeavour that we faced has broken our facade and our "perfect" image has been shattered. in this time we are exposed for who we really are. often these times are devastating hence the "car crash" but often the pain is something that we only feel for ourselves hence "at the edge of the world" since it is inconsequential for others and it is something that we must ourselves. That was simply my take on this song. As a young adult who is still trying to find my place in this world, I really related to this song in my own way. |
