lyrics,so unconventional.

This song to me by the way is all about the new rise after the end. A sunrise is followed by a sunset(transition is from positive to negative) The butterfly,born out of a caterpillar weeps on this upcoming catastrophe.

But,there is another transition which follows ..from positive to negative.

"You can see the universe beginning Making a new sun in a new sky You can see the universe is ending Making a new dark in a new night"

That is,this whole cycle of a play between positives and negatives in our life goes on and on.
