Look up, open the clouds
Here comes the bombshell
On the way home…
And now we want the coal?
Confusing times
Cry murder, cry what you like
Just let the comets lead the way
We’ll tear it down
We’ll hold the truth by the neck
Kick in the doors and burn the books
Try to forget
And wear it like flag
Try to be patient
On the way home
Cause inside, behind every curtain
They count the minutes, they count the days
We’ll tear it down
We’ll hold the truth by the neck
Kick in the doors and burn the books
Try to forget
If you look at the horizon there is always something ducking out of sight
When you’re looking at the treetops and they’re scratching out their patterns in the sky
Look up, open the clouds
Here comes the bombshell
On the way home…
Here comes the bombshell
On the way home…
Confusing times
Just let the comets lead the way
We’ll hold the truth by the neck
Kick in the doors and burn the books
Try to forget
Try to be patient
On the way home
They count the minutes, they count the days
We’ll hold the truth by the neck
Kick in the doors and burn the books
Try to forget
When you’re looking at the treetops and they’re scratching out their patterns in the sky
Here comes the bombshell
On the way home…

i love the poetic nature of this song, i just can't really figure out what it means (maybe because it's so early in the morning) but hopefully someone will know...soon?
I am only guessing... It seems to be someone who is living with a depression or suffering and is waiting to be lifted from it or be taken down by it, like suicide or something along those line. It sounds like they are describing the slowness of pain and the fact that it can either build or slowly melt away. Also they seem to be comforting the sufferer. Telling them this period is going to be hard, but you will surely see the better side and relief soon.
