We are aware that we perceive only 3 dimensions. We speculate on others (metaphysical / spiritual) but we don't have scientific evidence that we can perceive them (although some claim they can feel spirits and stuff). Because of this people have made up myths and stories that we have all heard: God vs. Satan, Jesus Chris, the Quran, etc. AND ghosts, spirits, purgatory, poltergeists. But Powers doesn't listen and he needs to piece it together himself.
Almost all human societies (ancient and modern) have religious and spiritual questions that we explore. It seems like such an important thing, but our world is controlled by the clock. Time is money so now material things are more important than navigating the spiritual dimension...
OR
Our world is controlled by time which means we only have so long to live. So navigation of what is truth and real is important before we go.
Devil vs. God is something he actually discusses here. Second verse is about the Devil and third is about God.
I don't think that God or Devil are spirits or forces. There is no good or bad in life. It all depends on feelings, beliefs, perceptions, cultures, and natures. So I think God and Devil are paths of action and Powers is trying to figure out what is right for him and find truth to the mysteries of the universe (physical and beyond). This is a huge part of many human societies.
This might be super far out. There is noise that we here associated with our dead loved ones and the noise is getting close so we're expecting something to happen. But that expectation is never met. I really don't have any insight into what that event would be - some sort of seance to communicate with the dead, God as a spirit touching our lives, heaven maybe?
This is me clumsily trying to piece together initial first thoughts about the song while drinking beer. I think the song is Powers' search for truth about things beyond our 3 measly dimensions and piece together his own ideas about life and death. But it's hard to interpret.
THIS SONG RULES. Not as good as Raspberry Cane though.
Not sure about this...
