Jade

or the song could be about the girl in the band named Jade who's in a relationship with the singer....maybe

definitely about jade castrinos

I'm going to have to say that you looked way to far into it, hahaha. It's about Jade, the girl that Alexander the lead singer is dating.

I believe that this song is about capitalism. Jade represents not only money buy also greed for it.

She runs through the valley of death and of sleeping She laughs as she dances her feet wake the flowers She comes up now running through our gloomy town Yes, Jade is the girl of the hour

Money has just entered the town.

We can't help but follow, she's Buddha just watch her She moves like an old gypsy woman but swears she's a girl And all that she asks we will allow her For Jade is the girl of the hour

Talking about how they can't help but use the money as they see it bringing supposed happiness with it. The lines about old gypsy woman but swears she's a girl is a reference to new money versus old money.

It is her hour so let it be hers Find it and shine it and wind it always It is her hour so let it be hers Yes, Jade is the girl of the hour

I think this is about the continuation of the greed. Also, the fact that she is the girl of the hour I believe refers to hourly wages.

The people in town now just wake up to see her For when she smiles they all feel the power The strong men, the children, and even the cowards No, Jade is the girl of the hour

This is talking about peoples motivation, now they are waking up for the money alone. When they have a lot of money or "when she smiles" everyone weak or strong becomes more powerful

And you won't soon forget the name

Saying that capitalism won't go away anytime soon.
