    SKY IS OVER LYRICS AND ANALYZATION
    Everybody knows
    Everybody knows
    That you cradle the sun, sun
    Living in remorse,
    Sky is over,

    Don’t you want to hold me baby
    Disappointed, going crazy

    Even though we cant afford
    The sky is over
    Even though we cant afford
    The sky is over
    I don’t want to see you go
    The sky is over
    Even though we cant afford
    The sky is over

    Behind closed eyes lie
    The minds ready to awaken you
    Are you at war with land
    And all of its creatures
    Your not-so-gentle persuasion
    Has been known to wreck economies
    Of countries, of empires, the sky is over

    Don’t you want to hold me baby
    Disappointed, going crazy,

    Not even from the sun
    Not even from the sun
    not even from the sun
    Don’t you want me to run

    Even though we cant afford
    The sky is over
    Even though we cant afford
    The sky is over
    I don’t want to see you go
    The sky is over
    Even though we cant afford
    The sky is over
    I don’t want to see you go
    The sky is over
    Even though we cant afford
    The sky is over
    I don’t want to see you go
    The sky is over
    Even though we cant afford
    The sky is over
    The sky is over us.

    Well, this is one song I like very much, both for its meaning and its beat. I was watching this video from him and I remember reading from it, “Serj was interviewed on the subject of this song and said, ‘When I was little, the sky was the limit. I would just daydream and look at the sky. Without the sky, there’s nothing, really.’” Or something along those lines. Some also think this song is about the war in Iraq. I don’t really pay attention to stuff like that for that reason, so I do not know very much about what’s going on there.
    Also, that by “behind closed eyes lie the minds ready to awaken you Are you at war with land And all of its creatures” means nuclear bombs is against nature. Which I find a very interesting theory. I hate war and think that we’re stupid for believing the government when they were persuading us that Iraq was hiding all these weapons and going to start a new world war. I believe this line is saying, we need to think clearer, are we really just at war with ourselves? We’re all the same, whether we have brown eyes or blond hair. It’s unnecessary, really.
