"There's blood in the sky....such a beautiful fall..."I think this is about someone who is never satisfied with what they have...seeing only the negative and it has become their norm. "behind those eyes, diamonds turn to sand" again this person is taking what's precious and turning it into something ordinary. Probably criticizing a lot. They are always wanting more or better and is constantly searching for it. (there's a diamond in the rough, there's needle in the hay). But because they are so busy dwelling on what they don't have, they are missing the beauty which is right in front of them "on a stormy day the clouds move...." Nothing will ever be good enough for them, not even "God's garden" which is a metaphor for perfection in my opinion.
