We Own the Sky Lyrics

"Each shade of blue Is kept in our eyes Keep blowing and lighting Because we own the sky"

My interpretation here is someone talking about how we are always reminded of bad, sad (blue) memories thru things we see (kept in our eyes).

The second part seems like the person is brushing off the bad by saying we own one of the most vast things in the universe and just brush it off, "keep blowing and lighting" (like blowing out candles and lighting them again next year).
