Cover art for Hours lyrics by TV on the Radio

to me this song is about Indigos, Starseeds, Rainbows and even Crystals. They are all Children of Light, who have been sent down to Earth on a mission. (the truth is in form of future youth, summoned from the sky) We are here to change the world and to help assist in the ascension. Indigos are misunderstood because we are different. We have a different vision for the future, but it is the right vision, and we are here to share that vision and influence the world to change. Alot of people just think we are crazy though. This song is talking about the struggle many Indigos go through because they feel alone because nobody around them may have the same views as them. But Indigos are everywhere, and if we group together, our power is immense. YOU might be an Indigo, and you've been sent here as a leader on a mission to change the world! You have the power! Anyways, this song is a message to Indigos.

refuse this cruel unusual fools leave them to rule in hollowpoint hell (people who don't understand Indigo's tell them they are stupid and crazy for being different and standing up for different beliefs. But ignore them, they are the ones who are blind and ignorant and who do not know the truth. Don't waste your time with them!)

you've much to do (indigos have purpose.. changing the world isn't easy!) now listen to the truth cradled in a cry cradled in a cry your light'll shine (Indigos are a light to others, they lead the way into the New Age which is approaching!) keep your head on high (JUST DON'T GIVE UP INDIGOS!) keep your head on high

you walk around know you are beautiful aimless and alive broken and divine walk around know you are future youth summoned to the sky ^ this is a message of encouragement towards Indigos, Crystals, Starseeds, etc. We need to believe in ourselves before we can believe in the future for the world. We can do this!
