"Oh fortuna, velut luna" = Oh fortune, like the moon. The moon cycles from being bright and full to being invisible in the night sky. Many people think of their lives in the same way: that some days they have good fortune and other days are just bad luck. Life has its ups and downs. But on a deeper level, realize that the moon is always there, even if you can't see it (a 'new moon'). This transitions into the first verse... "Turn around, and smell what you don't see. Close your eyes, it's so clear / Here's the mirror, behind there is a screen. From both ways, you can get in" What's important in life may not always stand out, but it's always with you on a deeper level if you learn to observe it. I think the "mirror" is about self-reflection, discovering yourself/the gravity of love within you/God/your deeper spiritual connection (whatever you want to call it). You can get there either by looking inside yourself (mirror), or seeing yourself from the outside, the way others see you (a screen behind the mirror) by your actions and impact. "Don't think twice before you listen to your heart / Follow the trace for a new start" When you find within yourself, trust and love, pay attention to the world around you and your situations. You will 'know' what to do in your heart. Follow your heart to create a change in your life for the better, instead of doing the same old auto-pilot stuff you've been doing. "What you need, and everything you feel / Is just a question of the deal / In the eye of storm you will see a lonely dove / The experience of survival is the key to the gravity of love" Once you get to that point, you will be able to be at peace with reality. Accept your situation and the world around you for what it is. Now you are on a new journey, led consciously by your inner gravity of love. Continue on this adventure, no matter where it takes you. The dove in the eye of a storm is a great example of someone going through a really rough time. The world around you may seem chaotic and shattered, but keep in mind that what's deep inside of you is forever, and hold on to that to keep you strong. The end of the song refers back to this. If you feel that you are alone going through Hell, try not to be discouraged, but remember the dove in the eye of the storm. The weather (your life situation) will always change eventually, but the gravity of love is immortal. Even death cannot destroy it. "The path of excess leads to the tower of wisdom" The unimportant, boring life is one spent just fitting in and trudging along wherever the current of your life may take you. Instead, do your best, go all the way. Look for opportunities and act to take advantage of them. Only then can you reach something greater. Alternatively, if you go "too far" then you learn from your mistakes. "Look around just people, can you hear their voice / Find the one that will lead you to the limit of your choice" Similar to above, this is encouraging you to push yourself to your limit (you will find that there is no limit). There will be so many people you will come across who lead by example or even will try to tell you what to do. Find a hero/friend/lover who can inspire you on your journey. |
