What If Lyrics

What if I...got right into
My mind's velocity
What if I...finally discovered
The rules of eternity

Will you stop running? Will you stop hiding?
And looking fot material things
Will you start searching...will you start seeking for
your immortal wings

What if I tell you
What we live for, what we die for
What if I tell you
That you will be born again

What if I tell you
What we live for, what we die for
What if I tell you
That you will be born again...and you will do
it all over again..and again, and again, and again

Cover art for What If lyrics by Armin Van Buuren

This is such a beautiful song.

"What if I... Got right into My mind's velocity What if I... Finally discovered The rules of eternity"

I think this poses the question of: "What kind of realisations we would have if it was possible for our consciousness to become one with the universe.. what truths would become evident?"

"What if I tell you What we live for, what we die for What if I tell you That you will be born again

What if I tell you What we live for, what we die for What if I tell you That you will be born again... And you will do it all over again... And again, and again, and again"

This section can probably best be summarised by reading 'The Egg' by Andy Wier: http://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html

"Will you stop running? Will you stop hiding? And looking for material things Will you start searching... Will you start seeking for Your immortal wings"

This section reminds us that existence is more than just the pursuit of material things in our present life. Having "immortal wings" is the state of mind that comes from the realisation that we are more than just our individual life. Our actions impact not just on us, but everyone around us (who are ultimately just other manifestations of ourself), as such, if we remember to behave in a way that considers these other lives, we begin living in a way that crosses the mortal coil.
