Cover art for Skies lyrics by Protest the Hero

Lyrics seem like an agnostic view on life. An acceptance of uncertainty and also the only thing known is that "descent is all there truly ever is."

Firstly, denouncing a religious view of heaven and hell while moving on to describe a different kind of descent, whether it be civilization or a single life on earth.

Don't have much time right now to elaborate but a great song, love the recurring theme of an archaeological look on the past. Reminds me of Turn Soonest To The Sea.

My Interpretation

And the recurring themes of existentialism also found in Moonlight.

Yeah, I agree about the themes of existentialism.
