I'm starting to see a lot more of the religious undertones to the lyrics in all of Cloud Cult, but especially in this song. While I'm a hardcore atheist, I find the spiritual romance of this song to transcend my initial love for the song. I'm not sure if he's comparing the splendor of God, Faith, or whatever with the Chandeliers, but it's a very overwhelming emotion to consider any interpretation of the lyrics in a spiritual way. I can only admire that sort of metaphysical interpretation of spirituality.

Try LSD a few times, then you might understand it a bit better.
