 I just don’t care if it’s real

Lyric: The sun forgives the clouds
Annotation:
This is a reference to Jesus, appearing from the clouds like how he’s depicted in murals. It also suggests that people are only flimsy and easily malleable like cloud’s shapes, but that even if people are in millions of shapes the sun (God) forgives.

Lyric: Glass needles in the hay
Annotation:
This refers to searching for a God that Matthew Bellamy just cannot seem to find. The searching for a needle in a haystack metaphor, but he suggests it’s even harder when they are glass, like even harder to see or look for.
