    Lyrics :
    When the hills let go
    Slowly fade into the water like some ancient lover
    On a ship filled with ghosts
    It's something to behold
    When the paper thin girls
    With twisting little braids in their hair,
    They take off their coats and throw
    Pebbles and stones from the side of the boat,
    Crying out
    The stones they float, the stones they float
    Oh my God, the stones they float, the stones they float
    Down the burning ropes
    Past the places where the steal beams meet concrete skies
    You make your bed under the moonlight
    I think it's time we said goodbye
    Cause nothing moves in the warm air
    And words that once would cut like a knife,
    They just hang in the cloud and you're
    Pushed by the lord,
    But you're pulled by the crowds and
    You're overboard, you're overboard
    Oh my God, she's overboard
    My love she's overboard
    She's overboard
    My love she's over board
    Not a shell unbroken
    In the valley where my heartache and the timbers lay
    It's not the time to be hanging around here
    You know what some might say
    That people get too reckless
    That even with the simplest of crimes
    They leave, blood behind,
    As I clean the knife for the very last time
    I think she knows, I think she knows
    Oh my God, I think she knows
    I think she knows...

    This song is about a murderer who lets his lover take the fall for his crimes, and she gets hung at the gallows.
    First part might mean that his problems are sinking, like his ancient lover, ancient because she is dead and her ghost haunts him.
    The paper thin girls could be the spectators for the hanging, and the stones floating is a metaphor. Stones don't float, it is impossible for them to float, and like the woman being hung, it is impossible for her to be the murderer.
    Down the burning ropes could be the noose that is going to hang the woman. When they bury her she is in a grave, and her "bed" is buried under the moonlight.
    So now that she is killed, she is innocent so rather than go to hell the Lord is trying to bring her to heaven but the spectators believe she is guilty so they want her to go to hell, and now she's overboard with the accusations of this crime.
    So now the village where he lives is full of heartache and the aftermath of this woman's death. Gossip goes on in the village.
    People were gossiping about how people get reckless with their crimes, and he reminisces on how he became reckless with his murders and she came in and witnessed the killing. He realizes that his lover knows that he is a murderer.

    I love the lyrics and the progessional sound throughout the song. I believe the song is about cheating and attempting to stop but realizing that is can get beyond control.
    As the song builds up, it sounds like he meets the girl, get infatuated, does the dirty, can't break it off, and eventually gets caught

    questions i thought morrison was torturing supershock all theses years was i wrong? did christian just realize that he was so mentally unstable that this was the only way to stop him. appealing to supershocks paranoia that morrison is causing everything did christian sacrifice himself to save the world? and is he ascending to becoming a god the ending blew me away and it seems almost like the bible. he commited the ultimate righteous sacrifice and was chosen to be given another chance. the world needs diamond

    • @einstin2

      In both the comics and here you see Supershock, a hero that is old and apparently ageless slowly fall to dementia. More correctly, you finally see what was true this whole time. In the comics, Deena convinced another superhero to stop Supershock (which she does just after Deena's heart was torn from her chest). In this one, since the superhero that stopped Supershock in the comics hadn't been introduced, Christian walker played into Supershocks's dementia and convinced him to kill himself and his arch nemesis. The light at the end looks like the beginning of a new plotline that is also from the comics. I won't spoil it here though.
