This is one of the hardest songs for me to figure out, but I feel like it could potentially be about a man who is very different from those around him, and he is not content with merely fitting in for the sake of things becoming easier. His dreams and his thoughts make others who watch nervous, and yet he finds peace within himself and the world around him when there clearly is turmoil over his difference. It also appears that he maybe finds another who thinks similarly (By your hand / I've awakened / Bear this honor in my name). He appears to be confident. The Glass Moon itself could symbolize the fragile tranquility that exists over society.

My Interpretation
