Skylight Lyrics
I don't know where we're going from here
but it's time to sing the saddest song
Looking alive with a broken mind,
why don't you ever take my side
We can dream of all the mistakes that we've made
There's no reason, there's nothing left to take away
I now know where we're going from here
and it's time to sing a happy song
Feeling alive with a throbbing mind,
you're never gonna break my stand
We can dream of all the mistakes that we've made
There's no reason, we can't start at the end
We're users but at least we use each other friend
We'll choose our path and face the consequence
Some say love, I say fight
I hope I'm not wrong
A restless soul, a wicked mind
I'd rather kiss the ground than kiss a starless sky
but it's time to sing the saddest song
Looking alive with a broken mind,
why don't you ever take my side
We can dream of all the mistakes that we've made
There's no reason, there's nothing left to take away
I now know where we're going from here
and it's time to sing a happy song
Feeling alive with a throbbing mind,
you're never gonna break my stand
We can dream of all the mistakes that we've made
There's no reason, we can't start at the end
We're users but at least we use each other friend
We'll choose our path and face the consequence
Some say love, I say fight
I hope I'm not wrong
A restless soul, a wicked mind
I'd rather kiss the ground than kiss a starless sky

I think this song sums up the theme of the album, which is 1 side is the past and looking at mistakes and troubled times, and the 2nd being the future and how to improve, and change.
It literally splits it in halfs,
I don't know where we're going from here but it's time to sing the saddest song Looking alive with a broken mind, why don't you ever take my side We can dream of all the mistakes that we've made There's no reason, there's nothing left to take away
poor guys lost. doesn't know where lifes going, "looking alive" - he's fine on the outside, but his mind and thoughts and aspirations are broken, and he feels alone. can't go any lower, theres "nothing left to take away"
then the uplifting part!
I now know where we're going from here and it's time to sing a happy song Feeling alive with a throbbing mind, you're never gonna break my stand We can dream of all the mistakes that we've made There's no reason, we can't start at the end We're users but at least we use each other friend We'll choose our path and face the consequence
he's found the way, what to do with his life. his mind is now "throbbing", full of ideas, and nothings going to "break his stand". What I love is it echoes the 1st verse, but replaces it with positivity. Now, theres no reason to not start again. We use each other, but as long as we have each other, we can continue and whatever happens, happens. he's just thinking about life more positively!
Some say love, I say fight I hope I'm not wrong A restless soul, a wicked mind I'd rather kiss the ground than kiss a starless sky
what he means by fight is fight on, not literally "hate". and he hopes he's not wrong with this fresh outlook on the future, but at least he now feels alive, "restless". the last line reflects on how he would rather appreciate what he has achieved in his life and who he has, then focus on a bleak, "starless" future.
Bam. Great song. Love it.
