Cover art for First Breath After Coma lyrics by Explosions in the Sky

as with all their songs, youre left to construct your own meaning. this song reminds me of this time this girl and i were in this huge sunlit auditorium and there were swallows trapped inside. the doors to the upper balconies were locked so i had to climb up the wall to open the window. i was rewarded for this with a kiss, and it was like a cinematic moment. the room brightly lit sunlight all around us and birds chirping and flying around. i guess the epic scope of that one small kiss resonates with me in this epic song.

that was a great story!
