Thin Air

I just listened to this song three times in a row.

Thanks, Stone. Because of you I now have a passing knowledge of Byzantine. It took until the last listen to figure out what this could be about. Actually, I think it's a very nice song, and the following image is beautiful

. . . is reflected in our pond, . . .
There's a cloud, . . . but the water remains calm, . . .
reaching in, . . . the suns fingers clutch the dawn to pass, . . .
even out, . . .

In thin air we need help breathing, so maybe the protagonist feels more alive since his partner is in his life? I created a story: the Protagonist and his partner are climbing up a mountain that overlooks Byzantine ruins in one view and the ocean (pond) in another view. It was at this point when they are both huffing and puffing up the mountain that the protagonist realizes he would rather be there than anywhere else. The lyrics may hint at the relationship as a whole, but they are really about a Eureka! moment.

I thought at first that the pond was actually a pond. However, considering the shark drawings on the side of the CD booklet I'm thinking that the pond is the ocean.

The typist needs to stop taking liberties with apostrophies. I'm assuming when alight is typed it was suppose to be a light. Changes the song. I'm assuming it was the typist that did that. hmmm?

At concerts I'll probably start singing along to this song. I see now how visual it is, and my mind grabs on visuals.
