| he could also be telling his souldmate to dry her eye because maybe they just borke up and she is sad abot that. maybe she never really died and the ghost is just the memory of her that he sleeping with. Well thats somewhat close to the meaning in my opinion. I love the song. | |

| Perhaps this falling out is not between the two lovers. The singer could easily be comforting his soulmate as they lament the deplorable condition of the world right now. They are both disgusted by how things are right now, we've warmed our planet to the point where the seas are sinking, the skies in so many countries are clouded by bomb-smoke nearly every day. The government, put in to place as an aid to man, is now just selfish and murderous. So many people are religious and think that leads to morality, but the USA is waging a crusade against Islam. Is it worth it to "love" a god to the exclusion of loving your fellow man? Like I said, it's a lament. They're so sad at, essentially, the dying breaths of humanity. But there is no need for his soulmate to cry, because regardless of what we do to this world, soulmates will be eternally alive in each other's hearts. | |

| i like the end of the world theory, it seems the most fitting... the first verse is describing whats happening to the world the second verse is saying why its happened and the chorus is him comforting his lover or partner of whatever, i like what eulogy said, with the even if its the end at least we have each other. i love this song. | |

| It is about a doctor who was convinced two of his patients were lovers in another life. I read it in an interview. | |

| i think this song is about someone who is obsessing over...or is dwelling on a relationship, like 'sleeping with ghosts' is basically sleeping with someone who isnt there, or who is not there anymore. the line 'soulmates never die' represents the fact that the person believed this statement, and even though the person was dead, or the relationship was over, they were still soulmates. | |

| I agree with Jas. I think it's about the end of the world because of man's inability to compromise or to obtain the "one world vision" . And I think that he is compromising his love or soulmate by saying "Hey it's the end of the world but at least we'll have each other in the end." That is my overall interpretation and let me make some remarks about the lyrics themselves. I think during verse one he is refering to nuclear war or WWIII. The "exploding clouds" are the mushroom clouds. And if I;m correct doesn't it say in the Bible the WWIII will be the end of the world? So that could explain the "where its written" line. The "one world vision" is the idea that everyone gets along and look past race, religion, culture, etc, etc, but this oblivously takes a compromise on the behalf of everyone. | |
