Sadly, the metaphor of this song is somewhat lost on me. Every time I read or hear the lyrics, I can't help but visualize the scenes from "The Forgotten", when the people are sent flying into the sky so fast that they just turn into little dots, and then nothing. The lyrics match those scenes pretty well, actually.
Still, the bizarre situation of someone being blown from the face of the earth it an amazing metaphor for the song's meaning. Really. I can somewhat relate, knowing someone for a few hours, kind of hitting it off but really not knowing them well at all, only for them to die in an accident. It's kind of surreal, but you're not sad. Should you be? You didn't know how they lived their life, their family, their friends. The way this song conveys the metaphor is pretty fucking amazing. Interpretations aside, listening to this song just sends chills down my spine. I don't know what it is, but it definitely has a certain vibe to it that strikes me. Such an amazing song.
