I read this song on two levels. On the personal level , he is coaxing a lover to open up and be vulnerable to real love , found in a puddle of water, the sign of emotionals. Someone who has been hurt , but he is trying to help them get past that.
On a more mundane level, he is talking about the dove of peace in the world. Is it hollow ? WE NEED it to fly , now more than ever.
Maybe I'm over reading, but take it in context with the other anti-war songs they have out. I love this band, and think they are one of the best bands to come along in the past 40 years.
