When he was a teenager, Gira did serious amounts of LSD. Once he was on acid at the shore during a fireworks display. Someone set off massive amounts of magnesium, lighting up the sky like the sun. When the thirteen year old Michael looked down at the water and saw a boy waving. Not for help, just waving. It was him.

The song grew from there.
