Judging merely by the heading, I thought the thread was about IBM. Emotion: stick out tongue

That makes sense, MrP. Thank you.

But do you think your interpretation goes well with the entire lyrics? You said the song refered to a dead person, but I thought it's about the purity which can be particularly found among children and which we adults have forgotten; it seemed that 'dark chest of wonder' represented such purity.

What do you think?

My best guess is: the one in the Big Blue (the child flying through the sky) is what the world stole from me (i.e., innocence).

Agreed!

("It's time to cut the rope and fly" seems to be a balloon metaphor.)
