Cover art for Swans lyrics by Format, The

i think this song is about human beings in general (swans) and how people should realise that we are all people and to treat each other with respect (we fit into each other we are russian dolls, where somethwhere in the center fits a beeting heart) hes saying that people have to search to realize this, and to be good people. you can also see hes generally asking if people can be well better people and not be so self-absorbed or heartless (are you defined by all the things you want? or did you get caught up in the things that you are not?) then the last first he says that there is more good in humanity than bad and that "we are flying higher than our counterparts" our goodness dominates our bad qualities and that realising that we have each other will make earth more peaceful*

*i think the imaginary place he is talking about is a place with only good ..or peace
