If anyone read the Kerrang! interview: "Tales of Ordinary Madness" with Katie Jane then you will probably have a deeper insight into the meaning of this song. Katie talked about how sometimes she feels like she is the only thing that is real and everything else has been created by her imagination, so in this world she is either God or nothing. Jesus is often referred to as "the way" and through the chorus of this song "For I am the way, burn all effigies of clay" I think Katie Jane is speaking about her beleif in this polarity. She uses a lot of religious imagery to convey that sometimes she must feel above it all, looking down on her 'creations'. As ladyboygrrl mentioned "Today's the day that i become the sky' could be a reference to suicide and floating up to Heaven, it could also be another allegory with the death of Jesus Christ and His ascension into Heaven. This is an extremely haunting song, Katie Jane Garside is truly a genius and she has the most beautiful voice. I love this band!!
