Sigur Ros is easily the most personal band in existence, short of perhaps instrumentals. The Hopelandic lyrics (which is a totally and completely made up language) allow you to individualize the song to your needs. "Let the pain go,let the hurt go,let the guilt go", as the madame in Sucker Punch said. If you want your song to be happy, let it be happy. If you want your song to be about you acting too slowly and losing, let it be. If you want your song to be about how shitty your life is, let it be. If you want your song to be about tomorrow, and about what tomorrow could and will bring, let it be. If you want your song to be the happiest song there is, let it be. All of this can happen simultaneously, and most importantly, individually. Two people can experience the song entirely different, allowing that everything is based on perspective. Let it be, with Sigur 1.
