We Own the Sky

The evolution of consciousness, or simply, our awareness of the interconnectivity and inseparability of every piece of nature, our world, and the greater universe. We are all one. (Quantum physics is on its way to forming a cohesive explanatory model of this). I see this notion reflected in many of my favorite songs, in sometimes more obscure ways.

"Each shade of blue Is kept in our eyes Keep blowing and lightning Because we own the sky"

The sky as a metaphor for our higher selves/soul/universal oneness, whatever you'd like to call it. I think these lines mean that we're all "pieces" of the same larger puzzle of creation (not in a religious sense but a spiritual one), which we perceive as divisible into our individual entities. However, just as we can see the sky, feel the winds blowing, we're equally a part of it. Observer as well as equal, collective participants.

"Soft soft or cruel Can't we change our minds? We kill what we build Because we own the sky"

Can't we change from this current cruel, dualistic society (much of the world, not just the western one, is governed by seemingly dichotomous political entities that ultimate serve the same greedy goals), stop building/growing things just to destroy them (i.e. people, nature, resources, etc.). We own it after all, as in, EACH of us, not just TPTB.

"Secrets from the winds Burnt stars crying So many moons here Lost wings floating"

Secrets from the winds could mean, well, hints of what's about to change for us here on Planet Earth from advanced ancient civilizations, science, philosophical wisdom (i.e. Buddhism, Taoism, etc). Burnt stars crying = represents each one of us. A star dies when it runs out of fuel... so being poetic, a burnt star could be a star in which that process is accelerated (analogous to the rape and pillage of the earth and the effects it will inevitably have on human populations). We're crying, the state of the world causes deep pain within all of us. "Moon" as a verb means to "behave or move in a listless and aimless manner." See a pattern? We're all devastated by the atrocities around us, the separation we feel from the oneness of our origin, and we've lost our ability to connect to each other - "lost wings floating."

"It's coming! What's coming now? It's coming It's coming now..."

The change is upon us... I believe when we die, our energy gets transferred. Ego death for sure, but our "spirit" (that is, the un-severable connection between all energy) gets dispersed and "lives" on. Eventually though, I feel humans will be able to transcend the separation between matter and energy (as perceived by us in our human form, a side effect our limited senses) that we experience currently, to a higher evolved conscious state of connectedness, unity, and love.

Just my complicated esoteric opinion, anyway :) Simply put, the dawn of a new age is upon us, one of love, compassion, and peace.
