Gravity Of Love

This song is so amazingly beautiful. I've loved this song for so long. Enigma's music is just so beautiful and complex. When i listen to their music , they take you to another place.

I had this song played at my mothers funeral mass 2 years ago. I find it hard to give myself to people even my family especially my mam, so by giving her this song i kind of gave her my heart that day because this song is truely my heart, this and Dante's prayer. sorry bout all the soppiness that topic is still a sore spot even now 2 years later and i'm quite a deep person especially with music.

As for the meaning i think this is your soul trying to connect with you. The lyrics are quite beautiful and everyone will interpret their own meaning from them, and i think thats what's supposed to happen.

"Turn around and smell what you don't see Close your eyes ... it is so clear Here's the mirror, behind there is a screen On both ways you can get in Don't think twice before you listen to your heart Follow the trace for a new start What you need and everything you'll feel Is just a question of the deal"

I think this means that we are all so much bigger than we think we are and so much more special than we believe. We're part of something bigger and we get bogged down with the mundane in life. The day to day stuff and we don't see the bigger picture or we are afraid to, of what it could mean. Of course i have my doubts about that stuff just like everybody else but at the end of the day it all comes down to faith and it can be hard to believe in something that you can't see or feel but we can't see air but we know it's there and i think the lyrics are saying " don't look at what you can see, look further at what you can't see, see the bigger idea.

my favourite lyrics are:

"The experience of survival is the key To the gravity of love"

I think this speaks volumes especially when it comes to the meaning of life. I truely believe that the meaning of life is love in whatever shape or form. its the most special thing in the world. Everybody wants to be loved and give love even the people who can't give that part of themselves. Everyone needs to. Love in families, love in relationships, love in friendship. Love for yourself. It's all the same. The lyrics are saying you'll go through pain and sorrow and despair in life and you'll survive and thats the key to love. Love is painful but amazing, you wouldn't feel pain and despair if you didn't love and care. Its horrible but its necessary.

"Look around just people, can you hear their voice Find the one who'll guide you to the limits of your choice"

We are all so caught up in ourselves that we don't stop and think that we're all the same, crying out for the same thing. I think the second line is about finding that other half of your soul like your soulmate or true love. Soppy but true. xxxxxxxx

"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.

"Look around just people, can you hear their voice Find the one who'll guide you to the limits of your choice"--These two lines especially stand out to me. The song is saying in no matter what you do in your life, find someone who will not hinder you, or keep you the same as when you met them, but find someone that will push you to your limits all the time in everything you do. It is pretty idealistic, I will admit, but finding someone that has that effect on you is still attainable.

This song is awesome. I feel in love with someone a year ago and this song is the song that reminds me of him. He is my world.

Any song that can pull off using Carmina Burana in the background deserves some credit just for doing it well.

This song is my guide to life. Not just sexual relationships but close friends too, also role models etc. I need a lot to hold me up in my pathetic excuse for a life. This song guides me through.

This song is so good, i first heard it when i downloaded a tribute video to Final Fantasy VIII and I defnitely agree with bkb04on the lines that stand out the most: "Look around just people, can you hear their voice Find the one who'll guide you to the limits of your choice"-- These two lines make me think of this guy : ) I just love how this songs been done its so different to anything i've heard really.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER!! i am absolutly in love with this song, seriously. its beautiful and the lyrics r amazing too. it's basically wisdom. actaully i first heard this song through an AMV and watch more of them with the same song and i fell in love with it.
