Lyric discussion by equestrianellen 

I think this song is about blockage. The guy is standing on the shore waiting for a connection with something and/or someone. But he is blocked from something within, most likely fear and ego. He is afraid to open his eyes and see what is out there, afraid to open up his heart and mind and let new knowledge and love inside. So he resorts to not wanting to communicate or talk to people and face the reality. He just keeps turning inward and avoiding what is out there.

I connect with this mostly about a guy running from a relationship. Especially with the lines "The future's in my hands, I hold it in my palms, Engrave it the leylines running right down her arms" He KNOWS he has a connection with this girl, the meridian lines are connected. And he holds the future in his hands with the actions he needs to take. But he is scared of the intensity and the passion and how that changes him.

I think that it can also be about avoiding spirituality too. And hiding from the reality that there is something out there bigger than us and facing that reality is really hard and it is much easier to just hide and pretend that the world and the universe is just about the 3D life we live.

Both concepts are often connected anyway, so i think it applies to both! It's easier to just live in a distracted world create noise in our head to drown everything out.
