A place that occupies no space

"We know a place where no planes go

We know a place where  no ships go

No cars go

Where we know

We know a place no spaceships go

We know a place no subs go

Where we know"

- The Arcade Fire

"When the whole world lets you down

And there's nowhere for you to turn

Because all of your best friends let you down

Then you try to accumulate 

But the world is full of hate

So all of your best thoughts just drift through space

I know a place where we can carry on

I know a place where we can carry on

We can carry on, We can carry on"

- Bob Marley

I think that both of these songs refer to the same "place."  Both songs clarify that it is not a place on this world.  Also, both leave the place undefined.  I think that they are talking about a state of mind unique to each individual where they can find peace that no one and no where else can give them...I have a place of my own and couldn't see myself without it.
