The line "out of the corner of my watering eye" is a powerful one. "Earth-bound misfit" refers to this person who feels trapped here in this world in which he doesn't belong, longing to once again go back out into where he feels he's from, and finally, at the end of the song being able to do so as his life here is finished. I've always found this song to be about the soul's journey. This is most energetically charged song, I have ever heard. I really hope that some "soul in tension" will understand what I just wrote and come to the same realizations as I did. You are there, in your head and your mind define, what the world is like for you) (notice the word "MIND" in difference from the "eyes" previously - your MIND, not your eyes, is what "sees", what creates reality, your eyes only see, your ears only hear.

(a realization that you are now free from your problems. So the night (depression) what surrounds you, can be broken by your SPIRIT) Physically impossible but possible by your soul. (anyone who has felt the feeling of being afraid to wake up, because it will bring only pain, will understand me) But I am almost unseen, only the halo and vapour. (I have finally raised in the sky, even above the planet and I need a prayer (a power of praying to the higher God, energy) to keep there. My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air Your soul wants to be free and something is holding you back. This is how the deep worries and fears inside yourself are called. (this is about the first flight, I am falling down with ice on my wings, despite me being sure about everything, lost all lights and lifeforce is leaving me "turned to stone")Ĭan't keep my eyes from the -circling- skies Unheeded warnings, I tought I thought of everything (note the word "eyes" it will have a meaning later)

(but deep inside that my soul is free and that I am born to raise in the sky, to the sun) Tongue-tied & twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I (your own weaknesses holding you back, fatal, but still attractive, a fight with yourself) The following is my interpretation, in the hard point of my life: For the human soul and spirit, this abstract energy, living in each us, given by God, nature Cosmos (whatever you call it), to be FREE. This song is about overcoming your fears, whatever it might be (in relationship, in choosing your direction in life, in stopping being abused, in standing up against oppression, whatever.), because, deep inside all these problems is the desire for the human being to be free.
