Cover art for Clear Skies lyrics by Keane

Love this song. I don't know if this is correct, but this is what I think the song means. It is about the American dream and how America is the land of opportunity. Behind the dream there is always a nightmare, in this song's case the clear skies is the dream, but there is always a storm ready to strike and ruin the dream.

Comment if I'm incorrect.

I think NimEdelweiss is closer to the truth. Whilst I think you've kind of got the right idea, I doubt it's about the American dream, seeing as Keane are an English band.

This is spot on, but this song also has an iron, caustic quality to the commentary on the American Dream. Truth told, i don't think the Keane boys are very fond of the American "culture". I wonder if they actual cash the checks we send them made from all of our pathetic striving for that American Dream they "cleverly" insult.
