i believe this song is about the end of a relationship and the start of a new one. i know that sounds really corny, but i think there is some evidence of it. one of the theories behind "el cielo" to me is that there is a circle of relationships that can relate to the circle of life. the juxtaposition of "sorry but it's over" talking about the end of a relationship and "convalescent" talking about dying affirms this. this song represents the death of a relationship, but is optimistic about the beginning of a new one. "though half of me is gone, the lonesome part is left. i cannot find the other half"... after that, it sounds as if the band dropped all their instruments all of the sudden, representing death. all that's left are beautiful angelic voices, bringing the dead body up to "the sky", to prepare the start of anew, a new relationship, but shown by dredg as a new life.
