Great song with great lyrics. It is a perfect scenario where a song is literally created after nothing more than a show (time signature and lyrics) but yet there are those who feel the need to apply their knowledge and claim they are correct. I usually am not one to call people out on stupidity such as this but I am pretty sure FaaipDeOiad7 has never seen the show Lost which is why he/ she does not know that Namaste is a direct reference of what all the Darhma Initiative people said to each other. Also each line such as we will stand, make this place our own is talking about the passenger finding themselves on an island with no signs of rescue, An isle of non-existence is also referring to the fact of the island is almost impossible to find unless it wants you to find it. Sacrifice to survive, others try to take and deprive is talking about the "others" that live on the island. They are the people that have lived there for many years and try to protect the island. Always seen as the people causing harm and trouble they are actually the ones keeping the "bad guys" out. The best line that gives away the fact that this song is about the show is the Live together, Die alone. This quote is said hundreds of times through out the show, it is the moto all of the survivors live by. Fight on until it is known I believe is talking about the countless efforts they make to try and alert the rest of the world of their crash as well as their attempts to leave the island. Must be a sign, must be a path is Lockes whole reasoning behind the island. Believing that everything happens for a reason and everything from deaths to finding another hatch is his and everyones destiny. The black smoke is pretty self explanatory if you have seen the show. Now I am sure there are hundreds of places any of these lines could have came from but when you actually add them up I would have to say it is more than just a coincidence. The time signature and almost every line is a quote or scene from the show. And if that analysis didn't cut it for you than just go to a Veil of Maya show and ask they guys themselves, they are going to tell you exactly what I just said.
So I enjoy the Hindu theory but I am sorry to say this is not some deeper meaning song. It was written about an amazing show by some amazing musicians.
