Cover art for The Greys lyrics by Devin Townsend

One of my favorite Devy songs! I used to think the Greys referred to the aliens that are most commonly sighted - the ones with the big heads, big black eyes and gray skin, but now I'm thinking it's grays/Greys as opposed to colors, but still a pun on the aliens. I always thought he was saying "heal your heart; heal your heart for me," which makes sense. After Ziltoid learns how cosmically insignificant he is, he's depressed. He needs to confine himself and stay away from the unknown for a while so he can heal. He needs to learn that even though there's no cosmic meaning to his existence, it doesn't mean his life is meaningless. He needs to heal so his life doesn't waste away. So he can live again and have new, colorful experiences before the grays/Greys wash away all his old memories, and he's left with nothing.

@Ampulex_Compressa WOW! You nailed it! Amazing that I discovered this record right now at this very moment in my life where I feel exactly like Ziltoid. I cannot forget who I once was (or thought I was) and I need to surpass this "gray" feeling to keep moving on, ASAP!
