I think this song is about the endgame between the forces that would hurt us and enslave us and control us and destroy, and the forces that would love and accept us and help us create. I think we are poised between these two forces - we see incredible creations, in music and technology and art, and incredible destructiveness and hatred, often for the dumbest of reasons, all playing out in the world we're experiencing.
If you accept the idea that there are angels - call them what you will, beings who have accepted love as a way of life - and devils, again use whatever words you like, who are deeply into the idea of power and shame and control and guilt and selling you the concept that you are inherently sinful and weak and bad and worthless - then I think this song is about the place where the devils (the riders) and the angels (the queens he talks of in the beginning, spreading love and unity so we can be found) collide
I think each of us can choose which side we would like to be with, and that if you consistently choose love, you will find yourself in a future love paradise. I really do think that we don't die to get to heaven - we live instead. I think Seal knows this - I gesture you to 'Crazy', where he talks about how 'in a sky full of people.. in a world full of people.. in a heaven of people there's only some want to fly, isn't that crazy?'
