I love this song because the meaning is much simpler than most of their other songs. It seems to me this song is about a person caught in a dream where he or she is looking down on the world and out into heaven. When we get to heaven, the earth in all of its splendor and glory are nothing more than trinkets that were here for our needs. We don't trinkets with us. Beautiful metaphor if you ask me.
