We were made to never fall away..


One of these days the sky's gonna break and everything will escape and I'll know
One of these days the mountains are gonna fall into the sea and they'll know
That you and I were made for this
I was made to taste your kiss
We were made to never fall away

Never fall away


One of these days letters are gonna fall from the sky telling us all to go free
But until that day I'll find a way to let everybody know that you're coming back, you're coming back for me

'Cause even though you left me here I have nothing left to fear
These are only walls that hold me here

Hold me here, hold me here
The only walls to hold me here


One day soon I'll hold you like the sun holds the moon

And we will hear those planes overhead and we won't have to be scared
We won't have to be scared, we won't have to be scared


You're coming back for me

You're coming back for me

You're coming back to me


-"Letters From The Sky" by Civil Twilight


I find this song so chilling, but yet so beautiful. It could be taken as simply a love song for two lovers apart by circumstance. It is very possible that the epic imagery is based off of biblical events such as the end of the world. There are undeniable religious themes in the song, the sky breaking and mountains cast into the sea, along with fear of planes flying overhead strongly suggest apocalyptic themes and the second coming. It reads "we were made to never fall away". One thing to note is that the lyrics not only pertain to the speaker but to us all.
