Most of Isis' songs you really can not decipher the meaning of there songs, which is one of the reasons I love this band. Celestial was there first there first CD they ever released. It is hard, melodic and expresses the first true atmospheric feel to it, which is followed by Oceanic and Panopticon. This song to me is yet another confusing song it is probably explaining a state of tranquility that is found in a gentler time that most people can not encounter and this is seen in the lines I have been high, still can’t see and the last stanza where he says our intensions spilt their cocoon, which is probably defining that this is a place where not everyone feels great, but they try to become one with the place, or something along those lines.
