See These Bones Lyrics

To me, this song is about the beauty and fleetingness of life. As well as the comment XAkitAX made, in the sense that our existence here is infinite. Nothing can change the fact that we lived out our lives on this tiny planet and experienced all that it had to offer, and hopefully left it a better place because of it.

The line:

"The lights in the city are more or less blinking"

Is interesting to me in the sense that, if you imagine observing a city from outer space, that's exactly what you would see... Blinking lights. I guess it's just another visual of how fleeting this life is.

This song belongs on Let Go though. To me, that is the ultimate album to remind you to live instead of lag.
