Skywriting Lyrics

Cover art for Skywriting lyrics by Eels

Interesting, the first impression I got from this song is that E was breaking up with a girlfriend. She should "go on" her own way, he'll be fine going in his direction, and that they are breaking up because they are simply going in different ways rather than there being a conflict. Looking out over the sea means that when she thinks of E, look to the sky and know that he's doing fine.

Though I'm sure now by reading comments that it was about death instead.
