To me it sounds somehow like Native American religion. At least I think, these folks had also hawks as symbol.
And all in all it somehow seems like... a circle. The way which is everywhere somehow. Creatures die - new creatures will be born and influence their environment untill they die and again the next generation goes on.
Hm... cannot really say, if there could be another meaning.
But I think you can see it in a positive in a negative way.
Everything happens again and again - good things as well as bad things.
:shock: Strange thing to me: I never noticed, that there are mentioned hawks. Nevertheless I always saw a landscape like maybe the Rocky Mountains in my mind... and a guy on a Harley taking a break aside the road. The glasses of his shades were like mirrors and he looks up to the sky and I could see a flying hawk in those mirrors glasses. (I just imagined, how a video to that song might look - I didn't imagine me there as well, I was just a viewer, hehe XD)
