Song Meaning

The lyrics paint a picture of a profound, almost cosmic shift, framed by the unsettling imagery of a "new house" where the windows offer glimpses of a "vision of the past." This isn't just nostalgia; it's a realization that a cherished world is gone, "one we realise we do not own." The narrator feels a sense of loss, as if a maternal figure has "redeemed and revoked" access to this former reality, leaving them unable to "explore" or "experience" it. This sense of dispossession is palpable, with the narrator feeling "she has taken all from us." Yet, this is juxtaposed with a simultaneous expansion: the mother has "given birth more sky" and "opened up oceans for more life." This suggests a larger, perhaps overwhelming, creation or transformation is underway, which necessitates this temporary withdrawal from the familiar. The space cleared isn't just emptiness; it's a deliberate act to allow for internal reflection and remembrance of "our selves," "our choices," and "our connection." The lyrics propose a temporary state of being, a pause "just for her to take a breath." The promise of future access to the "sky and feel the ocean" offers a glimmer of hope, but the immediate focus is on retaining the internal "space in our thoughts." This mental sanctuary is presented as a tool for resilience, a place to "light a fire of hope and burn it bright." The ultimate message hinges on an enduring truth beyond immediate perception. Even "in the darkness we will remember" that "the Sun and Moon always shine," regardless of whether they are visible. This suggests an underlying order and constancy that persists even when our personal world feels irrevocably changed or obscured.
