I find this song to me is talking about religion, specifically how easily people blame the evil in the world on the devil, and all the good in the world on god, when in fact, it all comes from within us... Our reasons are the same but there's no one we can blame(God or Satan), for there is nowhere we need go (heaven). beautiful song.

Very interesting interpretation.

I Think thes songn describes a dream: "the sleeping hours takes us far"... sometimes a dream can tell you that that you live tour life in a stage, acting. To become aware of this fact sets you free.

@cplagge 🤔, I think you've hit on something.
