All the depression themes have been mentioned, why I agree, it is about someone trying to overcome depression, but is so evident that this song is about God. The whole chorus is about the Holy Spirit, "You are surrounding all my surroundings" God is always with you. "Sounding down the mountain range Of my left-side brain" The left side of the brain is said to be the 'logical' part, meaning that all of his logical thinking is sort of reliant on God. "You are surrounding all my surroundings Twisting the kaleidoscope Behind both of my eyes" God is the one that shifts his views so he can see more than meets the eye. "And I'll be holding onto you." Come on. There's heaps of other little references in the verses as well As well as sort of worshiping God, it's more than it. It's to inspires others to start thinking about their own, to use our knowledge to our advantage rather then leave it dormant. This song is fantastic in juxtaposition to "Car radio" as they both have similar morals. |

I think it might be a love story, or a memorial of a girl one of them loved dearly. She's up in the sky, up in the dome might metaphorically mean how she's died and is now in heaven. He talks about a house filled with religious regret and infinity debt, heaven's pressure, so she may have been a nun or a girl extremely religious. She's a light in the dark, she's out of the door. She's remembered for her religion and how she made other people's lives happier. Talking about lighting the sky on fire and neighbourhood to life can be a religious comment of the Holy Spirit's fire and revival, I don't think this song was focused on pentacostalism, but it could be a reference. Hearing people read her name made him sad, "run away, run away." And yeah, love story. If someone knows what's really up, I would LOVE to know. |
