The entire meaning of the song is summed up in those three words. Basically, he is trying to paint a picture for the listener about the state of the world. How our enemies are people too. In the middle of the night, if you could float off to the opposite side of the globe, you would see other human beings like yourself, lonely and cold, going through hard (or harder) times.
This truly is a brilliant song, both lyrically and musically. I heard somewhere that Matt took an upright piano and plucked the strings by hand to get the sound he wanted. Simply incredible, not to mention unique.
Although I admit, on the first listen, it didn't touch me instantly. Possibly because of the slow start. But anyone who hasn't yet listened to this song, give it a solid chance. My favourite part is somewhere around 5:30 into the song. For about two minutes, you experience an incredibly passionate, yet soothing solo. This is what music is all about.
