i do support the idea of a christian theme. for anyone who has read the bible, there is an idiom that states "with faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains."
furthermore, pertaining to the song, I'm guessing it is a conversational idea about faith. for instance, "one thing i never did know was how to
fall head first, hand-in-hand into the ocean blue." the concept of faith is complete and utter belief, irregardless of knowledge; atleast, how i interpret it. i believe they use the idea of the sky: when you think of god or heaven, where do you look? - the sky. the use of the sky is what i believe to be the singer's approach to his relationship with god. although the "fire will die" (uncertainty in faith), the sun is coming, alluding to the idea that upon death, he will be reconciled with god.
not to refute anyone elses comments, this album is definitely a concept album. i think it helps to look at it from beyond a platonic level (boys loves girl, or whatever i.e. the cliche love song). simply the title of the album states it, at least for me: Pneumatology is the study of the unknown, or of divine interest. therefore, maybe a Pneuma is pseudonym for God or faith. aside from the meaning that pneuma is ancient greek for respiration or breathe, it still pertains to life as a whole, and sine god is such an integral part of life, it adds to this.
