Holes In The Sky
M83 & HAIM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Far from the rivers
Grace in our tears
High on a fever
Somebody heal me from my pain
Ooh
I'm reaching closer
My stars dive lower
Holes in the sky
Pierced by the fire
Somebody tell me this is real
Ooh
Hands to the sky,
I am a dreamer
We build the hope
We are believers
Somebody free me from my chains
Ooh
I'm reaching closer
My stars dive lower
Filling up my memories
Holes in the sky
Pierced by the fire
Somebody pull me from the dark
Ooh
Arms to the ground
Far from the rivers
Somebody heal me from my pain
Ooh
Hands to the sky (hands to the sky)
I am a dreamer (I am a dreamer)
Somebody free me from my chains (free me from my chains)
Ooh
The lyrics to "Holes in the Sky" by M83 & HAIM speak to the universal human desire for healing, hope, and freedom from pain and suffering. The use of imagery from nature is present throughout the song, as the arms and hands are either reaching down to the ground or up to the sky. The lyrics also suggest a sense of desperation and urgency, as the singer pleads for someone to heal or free them from their pain and chains.
The chorus of "holes in the sky, pierced by the fire" speaks to the idea that even in the face of destruction and chaos (symbolized by the fire), there is always a glimmer of hope and possibility (symbolized by the holes in the sky). This imagery of holes in the sky echoes the concept of the Japanese art form kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with gold, highlighting the cracks and imperfections as part of the object's history and beauty.

We have seperated you from the rest of us. And we created factions to ensure peace.
The time has come for you to emerge
from your isolation and rejoin us.
We have allowed you to believe
that you're the last of us, but you're not.
If you're watching this now, then at least one of you are proof that our
experiment has succeded.
Mankind waits for you, with hope, beyond the wall.
- Edith Prior

I was on a packed Sitges train during rush hour in midtown de Barcelona when this song came through my earbuds on shuffle. The blank stares of the commuters turning to sorrow as the violins swooped and swayed around my heart. A train full of souls - not one speaking a single word to the other. I've never felt the weight of the human condition so much prior to that moment. So many - yet so alone. I couldn't hold back the tears
