Big Sky
Probot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All gusts and leaves
Your wondrous life
And love have ceased
And all you've touched
Is dead and gone
And night for night
Big sky throning over the tree
You've left behind
Through these tears lost
By your forlorn only child
Big sky throning over the tree
You've left behind
It hurts inside
This silence new
And yet i know
The wind is you
And all you've touched
Is dead and gone
And night for night
We're all alone
Big sky endless in your overwhelming pain
Free at last into the light behind this eternal rain
Big sky endless in your overwhelming pain
You'll never pale
You're never gone
And all within
I'm not alone
Big sky
The lyrics of Probot's song Big Sky seem to speak about the pain and emptiness one feels after losing a loved one. The world around the singer has lost its vibrancy and life force, as everything that was touched by the departed person seems to have died and disappeared. The loneliness of the singer is palpable with the repetition of the phrase "we're all alone." The big sky, which is omnipresent and vast, becomes symbolic of the departed loved one who has left behind a world of tears and a forlorn child. The endless and overwhelming pain of such a loss is reflected through the indefinite and boundless nature of the sky.
Despite the silence that engulfs the singer, they still feel the presence of their loved one through the wind. The wind becomes symbolic of the loved one's spirit or soul, which is intangible yet perceptible. The pain of the loss is never really erased, but it is acknowledged that the departed loved one will never pale or be gone from within the singer.

This song has hit me in a painful spot ever since it came out

Nooo... it's because the songs are excellent or at least very good instrumentally, and the album features some of the best metal vocalists ever. I'm not really a fan Dave Grohls other works but this is great!

I love that he uses his Cold Lake/Vanity Nemesis voice on this.
