Hours

The lyrics shown here are just crap but I don't know how to edit this, so I'll just post the whole lyrics right.

you walked around thought yourself beatufiul just too bad they stared just too bad they stared broke up your crown called you unusable see how well you fared

stole underground to kick your heart around banished from above vanished from above forgot yourself go home and shot your health left it all for love

and on their lips delirious quips last seen with friends wishing them well

delayed, seduced you listened for the truth just too bad they lied just too bad they lied o come around in form of future youth summoned from the sky

ono omode

refuse this cruel unusual fools leave them to rule in hollowpoint hell

you've much to do now listen to the truth cradled in a cry cradled in a cry your light'll shine keep your head on high keep your head on high

you walk around know you are beautiful aimless and alive broken and divine walk around know you are future youth summoned to the sky

Very beautiful song though, one of the best on "Cookie Mountain". According to me the song is something like an "Ode to Youth" - as it once was - and how hard it is today to define yourself as a young man or woman. Because consumption culture stole everything to define yourself with and made fashion products out of it.

the outside world doesn't agree with you. you have the potential for self-love, and the potential to appreciate the world and all but the world doesn't want you...not sure of the specifics but there's friction here. it's sad but it's an acknowledgement of something beautiful lalala somethingorother

I agree with BattleMage. The first verse is about childhood. At the beginning you just walked around and you were happy. Then the world broke your confidence, and planted in your mind that you have to be looked after, cause you're lame.

"you listened for the truth just too bad they lied just too bad they lied" This can mean many things. For example think about the truths of sciences! This generation is so materialist and lack of faith, that it's terribly unnatural and frustrating.

If you read this post and the post of battlemage, It's quite easy to define the rest of the lyric.

But I have a problem. English isn't my first language and I can't find out the meaning of this expression: "shot your health"

Man, I loved this song before, but I just saw in the liner notes that Kazu Makino sings on it too! That makes it even better, and once you know its her you can really tell its her singing with Tunde.

Terlis - "shot your health" most likely just means you've wrecked your own health, what with drugs alcohol, etc.

and for someone who's first language isn't english, i''ve gotta commend you for a great interpretation on these lyrics!

so inspiring, to me its in the perspective of being rejected from a girl. Makes me want to prove myself. Especially when its a girl that you have known forever and you and all your friends know you love her. So you get rejected and then you "stole underground to kick your heart around" and then you "forgot yourself go home and shot your health" but then the song changes " you've much to do now listen to the truth" "your light'll shine keep your head on high " its the one girl that means everything "o come around in form of future youth summoned from the sky "

What does "ono omode" mean?

I think this song is about a girl who thought she was quite beautiful, tried to get somewhere in the world with her looks and was shot down and torn apart for not being pretty enough.

she then exiles from the people "summoned from the sky" angel like beauty and goes into a dark world, her confidence broken.

the "too bad they lied" part is where she realizes that beauty isn't everything like she thought.

to me this song is about Indigos, Starseeds, Rainbows and even Crystals. They are all Children of Light, who have been sent down to Earth on a mission. (the truth is in form of future youth, summoned from the sky) We are here to change the world and to help assist in the ascension. Indigos are misunderstood because we are different. We have a different vision for the future, but it is the right vision, and we are here to share that vision and influence the world to change. Alot of people just think we are crazy though. This song is talking about the struggle many Indigos go through because they feel alone because nobody around them may have the same views as them. But Indigos are everywhere, and if we group together, our power is immense. YOU might be an Indigo, and you've been sent here as a leader on a mission to change the world! You have the power! Anyways, this song is a message to Indigos.

refuse this cruel unusual fools leave them to rule in hollowpoint hell (people who don't understand Indigo's tell them they are stupid and crazy for being different and standing up for different beliefs. But ignore them, they are the ones who are blind and ignorant and who do not know the truth. Don't waste your time with them!)

you've much to do (indigos have purpose.. changing the world isn't easy!) now listen to the truth cradled in a cry cradled in a cry your light'll shine (Indigos are a light to others, they lead the way into the New Age which is approaching!) keep your head on high (JUST DON'T GIVE UP INDIGOS!) keep your head on high

you walk around know you are beautiful aimless and alive broken and divine walk around know you are future youth summoned to the sky ^ this is a message of encouragement towards Indigos, Crystals, Starseeds, etc. We need to believe in ourselves before we can believe in the future for the world. We can do this!

'ono omode' translates to 'way of a child' in Yoruba.
