To me, this song is about someone who has passed on...
Choosing stones (tombstones) big enough (literally) to drag them down.
Where I am (Heaven), people's voices make hollow sounds (could be that they can't quite hear them properly, or perhaps this lyric is from the person at the funeral, where people's voices and what they are saying are not entirely sinking in... )
It's so safe, floating in the glass (Floating in heaven is safe, they are letting you know don't worry, they are safe)
While above, all your troubles pass (No matter what troubles they had, when they are 'above' all their troubles are gone)
Open up your eyes (Don't be sad and close your eyes) Don't let your mind tell the story here (This is a life defining moment in your life, a loved one has passed on and whether you like it or not, this is not something that you want to turn away from. You must face it head on, tell the story of what happened, not what your mind was telling you at the time)
@bundy92 Nope, nothing to do with religion. "Floating in the glass" is a reference to being untouchable as troubles occur outside of your world. "Don\'t let your mind tell the story here" is a reference to not letting your mind fool you from reality - going back to the glass protection. This entire song is telling you to not let your mind fool you from reality.
