So I was listening to WITS last week when the lyric suddenly "clicked" with me for the first time... if it's not how anyone else interprets it, that's totally fine, but I find it entirely possible for the "window in the skies" to be salvation...
The shackles are undone
The bullets quit the gun
The heat thats in the sun
Will keep us when there's none
The rule has been disproved
The stone has been moved
The grain is now a groove
All debts are removed, ooh
> The whole "chains being dropped" imagery there...
Oh can't you see what our love has done
Oh can't you see what our love has done
Oh can't you see what our love has done
What it's doing to me
>"see what our love has done, is doing to me"... could be God's love working through a person
Love makes strange enemies
Makes love when love may please
Soul in a strip tease
Hate brought to its knees
Sky over our head
Can reach it from our bed
If you let me in your heart
And out of my head
>It was actually the last two lines of this verse that made me think about this song in that light - "you let me in your heart and out of my head" ... isn't that, really, what we're asking God to do? Let us into his heart and out of our sinful selves?
Oh I know I hurt you and I made you cry
Did everything but murder but you and I
But love left a window in the skies
And to love I rhapsodize
>And then that whole last stanza seems like a pretty cool verse of praise...
Believe me, I hate it when people over spiritualize things, but I think the God-reading of this song is fairly relevant to it.
