These lyrics are SO poetic, SO brilliant in their form and imagery that, for me, its actual meaning doesn't really matter. To me: It is using a balloon ride as a metaphor for our search for meaning in life.It's stating our insignificance in the whole scheme of things -"please forgive this brief intrusion."
The music is gorgeous and complements the ethereal lyrics. I would have it played at my funeral...if I wasn't an atheist or if I had a bit more spirituality in me.
