| Wild Beasts – Mecca Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song is hauntingly beautiful. It parallels the spiritual journey - to Mecca - with our own individual journey for meaning and love. Mecca; a holy city for Muslims; a place of pilgrimage, where every year millions journey from all corners of the Earth to reconnect with the divine. It's a journey that has taken place since the ancient. We're all on this journey - seeking our own Mecca; seeking to feel connected to something, anything, other than ourselves. It doesn't matter whether we felt it in another life, or in another time in this one. It is always so devastatingly familiar. We are constantly drawn to our Mecca. Searching for another taste of that ether. To feel and to love is to be human. And this desire connects us not only to our Mecca but to the entire lineage of humanity. But really what do I know? I'm just a broken hearted romantic. Truly? All I want is to feel that feeling again. Sometime I wish I didn't drop the thread. Alas - the journey continues again. |
