*with bullets and pages of trade magazines
close to a car THAT flipped on the turn* - this is the picture of the world, bullets- war, trade magazines - material world, corruption, there is no space for art, love, kindness...
*when God left the ground to circle the world* - where is God? How can a innocent boy play next to bullets and a car that flipped? Why is the world so violent when there is a God? I thing it's about questioning the existence of God. And about kids who should be surrounded with fairy tales and music, art, not bullets and crashed cars.
*Girl with a bird she found in the snow* - again, innocent child playing, the bird is a symbol for freedom (but she found the bird in the snow, it means it was frozen - that is why the girl is crying) , the snow is a complex symbol, it is white like innocence, but cold.
*that flew up her gown, and that's how she knows
that God made her eyes for crying at birth* - God gave us eyes for crying, because the world is a horrible place.
*then left the ground to circle the earth* - again, it means, this is the key of the song. God LEFT, we are on our own.
*Boy with a coin he crammed in his jeans
then making a wish, and tossed in the sea
then walked to a town that all of us burned* - the boy wishing that the world becomes a better place, and then going to a town that burned him - could be: he was killed, or "burning his soul", he becomes corrupt, in a big town.
*when God left the ground to circle the world* - well, I think he blames God for many problems in the world... :)
