yup. this beautiful song is about the miscarriages him and his wife had, but now he has a baby son named James :)) my fav part : "the earth and its skin will open up and birth out a perfect mirror, that makes all our reflections clear" makes me think of how your own child is like a reflection of who you are, except they're a clean slate and you can teach them to not make the same mistakes you made.
Haha, I thought this song was all calming and stuff, And i had the volume up super high. Then 0:11 scared the crap out of me and nearly gave me a heart attack! xD
"i won't be angry if you have to leave, but i won't be waiting for that day so don't say you're sorry cause i won't believe you" he's talking to the baby that was miscarried
pretty sure this is about bad memories about an ex girlfriend who killed their baby out of nowhere by jumping down the staircase. and hes questioning if he should go back to her after doing some bad stuff like that., at least thats the surface meaning
@ivlust.. I think the word baby stands for their love, and the earth opening its skin with the perfect mirrior to make reflections clear. I think hes saying look in this perfect mirror to see who you really are and come back to me. i dont know, i could be very wrong. it really depends on who you are. thats what makes circa so great you can perceive it the way you want to.
@rockdoesntdie It was incredibly hot in the Cafe and my glasses were sliding off of my nose. But all in all... It went well:). Thanks for asking. It's also in my repertoire for Tomorrow's busking event i'm taking part in;).
L’esprit de escalier: (French) The feeling you get after leaving a conversation, when you think of all the things you should have said. Translated it means “the spirit of the staircase.”
@McCunk Just because he's an atheist doesn't mean his music can't inspire spiritual feelings in other people :P But I do agree that AndyAngelZ's idea that the album is religious is probably wrong lol
This song definitely needs to be played on a universal speaker... imagine how people's perspectives will be once they hear this it's like hearing a song from heaven... maybe it is from heaven, upon the blue sky there is a noise...?? lol ironic cuz of the album title
everytime i hear this i think of around september when it was warm i was in the house talking to my boyfriend while he was in tennesee for a weekend and it just makes me feel good when i hear this song. Puts me in a better mood ya know?
Went to find the meaning of this song found this in a comment:

i saw these guys in kansas city last night, the show was really heavy before this song and everyone stood still. many people including myself were crying.
before he sang, he said with strong emotion, "this song is for my son."
it's just too beautiful, and extremely thought provoking.
@YouBetterPray Well, you know ow before Anthony and Meredith were having problems with keeping a pregnancy? I think that this song is about that too. Well, that's the reason I think he wrote it.
Ha. I don't think it's about abortion. Just because there's a line about killing a baby...no. I think 0evil0gummy0bears0 is more on track with this one.
It's kind of a narrative if you ask me. I can see the whole thing happening in my head, like a movie. It sounds like it's about a person who has gotten so attached to the "lie they've been living" that he or she doesn't know what to do without that lie. The mirror for clarity, the baby for a new life... Idk. It makes sense to me.
Well, thats what earmarks good poetic writing , when your audience can interpret in thier own way, and your not so arrogant that you tell them what to think.. I have no knowledge
( I dont even know thier name) of the person who wrote this song, But I can tell its cathartic and melacholy, theres dissapointment and loss-weather thats a child or your girp on reality ( For some people those are one in the same).Tis good shit!
Reminds me of Sophocles' character Oedipus, and with that being said, I think its more about finding a lie youve been living, but its so comfortable that you dont know any other way to live. Like the whole "we havent saved the baby" Well this kids parents sent him off when he was born to evade prophecy..which he fell into anyway, and found out about... Then gouged his own eyes out.. Ahh, dont you just love greek theatre? Thats just how I interpret it though,Idk the band at all

Hey guys my name is Esao Andrews. I am the one that drew this album cover.. and one of my old friends is the one that made a sculpture of my painting..
We sent it in and the feel in love with it..
So i am very glad for these guys i love this whole album
I'm glad i could contribute to something so great as this!!!
@LittleMissLucille i know, they're cover art is fucking kick ass!!! and their shit is simply elite. there really isn't anyone better than circa. there may be a few out there as good or almost but they are top of the line shit.
I've been listening to this band for the past....3 hours and I'm not even lying. It amazing and this song makes me want to cry. I really love the dong get out and it's 1:47am and I can't wait to get up tomorrow and go buy the cd at the mall and listen to it non-stop.
@natsushi555 it said she killed the baby, so I don't think it's a misscarrige he's talking about and his wife's name is Meredith, not Annie...So who knows. But if he's saying we saw another side and she killed the baby and he's talking about a miscarriage that that's being pretty cruel and hard on her.
when i wana feel sad i play this song. cmon it happens to everyone,.. right?
