this song is really gorgeous. the range of her voice & rhythm of her singing lend well to the plaintiveness. minerva is the roman goddess of "crafts & wisdom" & is usually depicted looking warlike & wearing armor, spear, etc. she was not born, but rather Jupiter opened up his head.. and out came Minerva in her armor. that would explain a little of this song... it is pretty self-explanitory otherwise. keeping true to your own aims & struggles, not getting so caught up in another person's drama to the point you don't take care of yourself. the "oh say can you see me" lines follow the tune of a kind of patriotic american song.. maybe the journey she is avoiding entanglement with is america/politics. this is just my own speculations & i'd love to hear what anyone else thinks...? |

this is such a great song, i have felt it as a personal anthem sometimes. it is amazing all the roundabout & seemingly aimless ways you travel through life & unexpectedly end up in the best of places! it is about being strong within yourself & resisting the "path of least resistance" |
