Lightning crashes

This is going to be a little harder, I am going to dissect they lyrics of a song; it's one of my favorite songs. The song is called Lightning Crashes and its by the band Live.

Here are the lyrics to the song



lightning crashes, a new mother cries
her placenta falls to the floor
the angel opens her eyes
the confusion sets in
before the doctor can even close the door

lightning crashes, an old mother dies
her intentions fall to the floor
the angel closes her eyes
the confusion that was hers
belongs now, to the baby down the hall

oh now feel it comin' back again
like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
forces pullin' from the center of the earth again
I can feel it.

lightning crashes, a new mother cries
this moment she's been waiting for
the angel opens her eyes
pale blue colored iris,
presents the circle
and puts the glory out to hide, hide

This song is a very powerful song if you have ever heard it. If you haven't heard the song you definitely should!
In terms of the meaning of the song, its really pretty simple. It's about life transferring from one life to another. As one women dies, a baby is born, almost as if taking her place in the world. As people die, their life goes on, new life is created. While its sad that the mother dies, there is happiness in the little baby.
