Hello, Im new to this wiki and would like to make my first commentary on the album art for this song. If any of you are familiar with crop-circles, the image is one of the most common themes to most crop-circles. I think this was intentional. I also think this song may refer to 'The Presence' Should this be added as part of a 'possible' song meaning? Robertwalthall 02:32, 6 May 2008 (PDT)

For now, I think it's better to just keep it in this Discussion page. Just my opinion, though.--leo3375 09:20, 6 May 2008 (PDT)

Is this the only NIN song that's *only* trent and a piano? All the others seem to have something else in there too. -- Joel 06:09, 9 May 2008 (PDT)

Could be. I know Still comes pretty close at times. --Mr z 21:08, 10 May 2008 (PDT)

There is "something else" if you listen close toward the end. Sounds like synthetic strings. Aeontriad

This song could be about waiting next to somone who is dying. The first verse could be reflecting on a diagnosis "Everything they whispered in our ear, Is coming true" and verse two could be about staying away but in the end realizing that their place is by the side of the dying person. The 'lights in the sky' arriving and departing could symbolize this person finally passing away, and the other person still by their side (spiritually or physically). Aeontriad

-I was just listening to [[The Warning]] and I heard the lyrics "When it came down from the sky," I think [[Lights In The Sky]] is related to [[The Warning]] (that is of course, if there is a connection between [[Year Zero]] and [[The Slip]]).  If you listen and read the lyrics for yourself, I think that would do a better job at explaining what I mean than my trying to explain it myself.

-:When it came down from the sky refers to [[The Presence]], although this song may be part pf YZ2 (I personlly don't think it is, those lyrics don't refer to lights. [[User:Sheepdean|Sheepdean]] 12:50, 17 May 2008 (PDT)
