These songs are from Arcade Fire — you all probably will not find this in many if any song-meaning posts, but ever since my soul awakening, I have intuited that these songs discuss Heaven:
Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels):
And if the snow buries my
My neighborhood
And if my parents are crying
Then I'll dig a tunnel
From my window to yours
Yeah, a tunnel from my window to yours
You climb out of the chimney
And meet me in the middle
The middle of the town
And since there's no one else around
We let our hair grow long and forget all we used to know
Then our skin gets thicker from living out in the snow
You change all the lead
Sleeping in my head
As the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn
Then we tried to name our babies
But we forgot all the names that
The names we used to know
But sometimes we remember our bedrooms
And our parent's bedrooms
And the bedrooms of our friends
Then we think of our parents
Well what ever happened to them?
You change all the lead
Sleeping in my head to gold as the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn
The song I've been trying to sing
Purify the colors, purify my mind
Purify the colors, purify my mind
And spread the ashes of the colors
Over this heart of mine
Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)
I woke up with the power out
Not really something to shout about
Ice has covered up my parents hands
Don't have any dreams don't have any plans
I went out into the night
I went out to find some light
Kids are swingin' from the power lines
Nobody's home, so nobody minds
I woke up on the darkest night
Neighbors all were shoutin' that they found the light
(We found the light)
Shadows jumpin' all over the walls
Some of them big, some of them small
I went out into the night
I went out to pick a fight with anyone
Light a candle for the kids
Jesus Christ don't keep it hid
Ice has covered up my parents hands
Don't have any dreams, don't have any plans
Growin' up in some strange storm
Nobody's cold, nobody's warm
I went out into the night
I went out to find some light
Kids are dyin' out in the snow
Look at them go, look at them go
And the power's out in the heart of man
Take it from your heart put in your hand
(Hand)
What's the plan? What's the plan?
Is it a dream? Is it a lie?
I think I'll let you decide
Just light a candle for the kids
Jesus Christ don't keep it hid
'Cause nothin's hid, from us kids
You ain't foolin' nobody with the lights out
And the power's out in the heart of man
Take it from your heart, put in your hand
And there's something wrong in the heart of man
Take it from your heart and put it in your hand
(Hand, the lights out, hand, right now, hand)
No Cars Go
We know a place where no planes go
We know a place where no ships go
Hey!
No cars go
Hey!
No cars go
Where we know
We know a place no spaceships go
We know a place where no subs go
Hey!
No cars go
Hey!
No cars go
Where we know
Hey!
Hey!
No go!
Hey!
Us kids know
Hey!
No cars go
Where we know
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream
Between the click of the light and the start of the dream
I don't want any pushing, and I don't want any shoving
We're gonna do this in an orderly manner
Women and children!
Women and children!
Women and children, let's go!
Old folks, let's go!Babies needing cribs, let's go!
