Jesus, this song is powerful. To me it is about the realization of love, that force that is always growing, always rising from who knows what mysterious depths, bringing us, in the end, to where we should have been in the first place, to who we are meant to be. It's about love as a power that transcends even death--when we wake up on the other side--and lives on even when we are underground; in the words of Kahlil Gibran, "You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days./Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God."
