• I know this is a little morbid but I think this song is about death or something ending. I think in the song he’s saying to the person dying stop crying we can meet again somewhere (heaven) and not to worry about dying just enjoy what time you have left. I think this song could also go away for any other situations in life too where things are going bad and he’s singing that you should focus on what is happening now and enjoy it even though you may cry, overcome it, just have the time of your life.

He replied: “We’re in a difficult time, and I think we’ve been in many difficult times before. Most of the stuff that hurts me about what’s going on at the moment is not politics, it’s fundamentals … Equal For everyone, all races, sexes, everything. … ?
