This song contains a hefty amount of Biblical imagery; a chorus. Trumpets, referring to the seven trumpets sounded in Revelation, winged beings waiting (angels), and more.

[Verse 1]
An eye drips, a heavy heart
A heavy heart, a heavy heart
Something waiting, winged
A heavy heart, a heavy heart
A heavy heart wanting-
For the chorus to sing itself
For the meandering years to fade
[Chorus]
I cry about it, I cry about it
I cry about it because I want to
I cry about it, I cry about it
I cry about it because I want to
If one could hear the song
The sampled voice of God
Singing cry
[Verse 2]
A will stirs a stolen arc
A stolen arc, a stolen arc
Cannons, trumpets swell for
A falling arch, a falling arch
A falling arch stolen-
With the words beneath my pillowed head
I am staring at the ceiling again
[Chorus]
I cry about it, I cry about it
I cry about it because I want to
I cry about it, I cry about it
I cry about it because I want to
If one could hear the song (If one could hear the song)
The sterile voice of God (The sterile voice of God)
Singing cry on, cry on
[Bridge]
Cry on, cry on
Cry on, cry on
Cry on, cry on
Cry on, cry on
[Chorus]
I cry about it, I cry about it
I cry about it because I want to
I cry about it, I cry about it
I cry about it because I want to

There is a decent chance the inspiration here came from one of those used car dealership TV commercials where some lunatic is de...
