To me, is about accepting our humanity
And not trying to become gods (higher than humanity)
Or animals (lower than humanity)
But just accepting life as is and being human and in love, etc.
It's also a lovesong about a girl who understands her humanity
Singing to a boy who is trying to be something he's not
On an ego trip or whatever.
And she's trying to tell him:
"You don't have to be anything in order to belong to this earth."
"We already belong."
"We belong to the light."
"We belong to the thunder."
The line about the "words" they've "both fallen under"
I think
Is a refrerence to organized philosophies and modes of thought
That she and he have believed in in the past
But they've "fallen under" them... a.k.a.... they've been oppressed by them
Rather than belonging to them in a positive way
The Poet William Blake said:
"Both of us read the bible day and night
But you read black where I read white."
Meaning that people have used timeless truths as weapons for years
Rather than as healing, as they were intended to be.
So that's the whole 'we belong to the words we've both falllen under" analysis.
The line:
"Maybe I just wouldn't know what to do with my strength anyway"
Reinforces my perceptions about this song
She is telling him that there's no need to try to be strong. Just be!
To me this song can be a conversation between the soul and it's creator, or two soul mates long lost, lovers or complements in some way, not necessarily in a sexual relationship.

"We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder." The light and thunder of the heart of God. The soul which has drifted away from it's first love, the love of it's creator Father.

"We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under." The lies of this fallen world, the pride of self injuring the innocence of the spirit; two partners...
"We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under." The lies of this fallen world, the pride of self injuring the innocence of the spirit; two partners who have for some reason fallen apart, and are not in proper relationship to one another.
Where the mercy of God says, "Close your eyes and try to do your best to wash the palette clean." Basically, healing the wounds of bad choices, of scars, hurts, the past wrongs which were never righted. The Father of Lights would heal all things which have gone wrong in time and eternity.
"I hear your voice inside me, I see your face everywhere." The soul responds, seeing the face of God in all things, and truly knowing it is safe in the palm of God's hand.
This song is a true gem. Thanks to Pat for picking it.
