A Sight to Behold

This song could be interpreted to be the blossoming of a young, introverted wallflower as they become a confident young adult. The first verse could be the first stage of development: the young woman/man realizing that they can talk with and relate to other people, using words and making them their own. Especially in high school, for example, most people, or at least the loudest people, are more interested in making noise and bolstering their own self-confidence than in communicating meaningfully, so the introvert learning that he or she CAN talk to meaningful people about meaningful things is this first step.

Second verse might be about the self-confidence that comes from knowing that you are a worthwhile person, no matter what anybody else thinks. Seems like the whole idea of realizing how interesting and good you are inside is compared to golden corn giving a golden glow: the warmth of self-confidence. The "little head inside your little hold" part might concern how, though the introvert passes through their days normally, maybe being picked on by the same people as before, they keep the light of their sense of self-worth inside to warm them. "Sparkling thoughts" would be self-confidence itself.

The last verse might refer to gliding effortlessly through social situations, perhaps in college, now that they have a beacon of self-worth. The familiarity of all this comes from childhood, before puberty, when the introvert was just another kid before everybody set out to prove themselves. It could also be about a sense of social standing or of personal understanding.

I'm also pretty partial to the song meanings that PandaCakes and tigersroamfree wrote up; you can tell this song is well-written because it can be interpreted so widely and so effectively. Every idea works, really. Though I honestly don't think it's much about sex.
