Lyric discussion by findsomepeace 

i believe that 'sister bluebird' and 'starship trooper' and 'mother life'are the same 'thing' but whatever that 'thing' is is pretty obscure.

i think the song as a whole is about humans' trying to grasp higher ideas. "the talks by the water" and the "proud sons and daughters" seem to be about another civilzation, perhaps an alien one. this other civilization seems to be able to grasp the higher concepts that are unreachable in human consciouness.

i hope what i just said makes sense :-?
