'I saw the Devil fall like lightning' Says it himself 'that's me.free' Tells himself and listener he is free from Gods authority and you can be too. That's Satan kicked out of heaven as witnessed by Jesus. And meant to dissuade you from hope in Jesus. Just be advised I love this song although it's from my enemy. Unfortunately, lyric sites miss parts at times. Pale blue colored iris, presents the circle (the babies blue eyes metaphorically represent the circle of life, a never ending cycle of beginings and ends recycled.This was probably penned with the help of the Devil himself. The angel opens her eyes (baby opens her eyes and sees her mom) This moment she's been waiting for(shes hold ing/meeting her child after the 9 month journey) Lightning crashes, a new mother cries(this time tears of joy) I can feel it(I think the songs hook is describing crossing over or the feeling of life happening around you birth and death, begining and endings etc). this verse says earlier her intentions fall to the floor she intended to live but she didn't she died the baby down the hall is the baby from the first verse who also is fighting to live as it takes its very first breath.)įorces pullin' from the center of the earth again the struggle also could mean the fight to live. The confusion that was hers belongs now, to the baby down the hall(confusion is to mean life. The angel closes her eyes(the angel this time refers to the old woman who has just died.) Lightning crashes( could be metaphorical as in to say in a instant), an old mother dies(old mother meaning a older woman not the New mother or young woman becoming a parent who was mentioned in the first verse) also could mean not the babies struggle but the old woman's but I think it refers to their simaltanious struggle to live as the baby is beig born starting its life the old woman is dying and life is endeing) The confusion sets in before the doctor can even close the door(I believe confusion is used to illustrate the struggle for life i explain that more later. The angel opens her eyes(baby is the 'angel', opening its eyes for the first time.) Lightning crashes, a new mother cries(child birth is painful) It's about a woman giving birth in a hospital and down the hall at the same time an old woman was dying. It is about the peaceful passing of a life (an old mother whose children are grown), and the joyful if hectic arrival of a new life (the new mother and her baby).Īctually you're a little off. It is not about the girl who died in the car accident, nor is it about abortion, miscarriage, etc. It is there before us in plain sight, but hidden because we see the flesh most often rather than the spirit within. The glory coming out to hide is the spark of the divine hidden within all people. The pale blue-colored iris of a newborn baby represents the circle of life.

The angel is both a symbol of the divine and of life, and the living people themselves (eyes opening for the first time in life, closing for the final time in death). The angel opens her eyes in birth, and closes them in death. In other words, this song is about the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. But it was something that we hoped would honor the memory of a girl we grew up with and help her family cope with sorrow - which it seems to have accomplished - in a fashion in keeping with the theme of the song.'
