No clue what Mr. Gabriel had in mind with these lyrics. I expect it\'s one of those "make what you want of it" deals. So here goes. \n\nHow about : The singer is observing a creative genius who is oblivious to their talent. The person who genuinely has no idea how much they are revered, or why. Akin to, but much deeper than, "the girl who doesn\'t know she\'s pretty".\n\nI get there mostly from the chorus, "When you\'re falling, I can\'t tell which way is down" which I interpret as, "You seem frustrated with yourself, but all I see is wonder. To you, you\'re falling, but to me you\'re soaring"
