Cover art for Third Eye lyrics by Florence + the Machine

In my opinion, that's a very spiritualist song right there, condensing important thoughts and advises regarding our life on this body. I'll go slowly:

1) Original life line refers to the Line that bring us a vital supply, the original one. It can be interpreted as god, basic energy, but a vital and original one.

2) Hey Look up brings directly connections to the divine, always interpreted as something from above.

3) Then she advise not to make shadow of ourselves, being caught in our own creation, blocking the light. That's our resistance to be open to a spiritual view of our life, where were are educated to be thinking only in money, spending and material things. Ok, Florence may be rich, but that's not the meaning of our life

4) And if you look up, it tears you up, and Oh How Much! (in fact, that's not a question mark, but an exclamation ) and again, if you look to the divine, or spiritual world, it opens you to a different points of view

5) If you have a hole where your heart should be, that means you have no feelings, and she can see that by using her third eye, which is a kind of intuition that is connected to spiritualist thoughts. She can see that and the person she wants to advise pull her touch away, not knowing why.

6) Then she invites us to reflect that we are humans, we are alive, we deserve love and whatever you are given you deserve it. Basically, she invites you to be happy. You are born for that.

7) Cause your pain is a tribute, she reminds that we need to fight, and things do not come out so easy in our lives. In some lyrics I have found: Wear it now like a Mantle, But anyway, pain reminds us that it's the only thing that hold us. Life is not paradise.

8) And finally, a vague but powerful sentence: I'm the same / I'm the same / I'm trying to change. Basically, our spirit remains the same. We can live multiple lives, but all the time, we need to try to change. To evolve. That's the whole concept behind spiritualistic view of life: throughout suffering some bad moments and life, feeling "the pain", we need trying to change, preferably to a better person, and your spirit goes on and on and on...

That's my interpretation of her message
