This song is absolutely brilliant in my opinion. The simple chord structure, not complex but deeply emotional, which is what music should be.
The lyrics are simple, but very powerful, very powerful for sure. I love the way that Moby left the second set of lyrics open to interpretation, this shows true artistry, and it's great, very great!
And don't forget the music. He starts with A minor, then to E minor, then to G major, and D major. . a switch to F major then C major conveys a powerful feeling. Simple, but pure and sincere, as the lyrics also suggest. . Great stuff!
A couple of interpretations of what the woman is singing: a) Feel's like it don't, b) He'll open doors, c) These open doors, d) He's got to know.
Moby did a great job of making sure that any interpretation of the lyrics fits the overall theme of the song, this is true art, not unlike one looking upon a great painting, and finding your own meaning to it.
totally agree,to play these notes are choice, these are great words; open to each and everyones own interpretation...
but, opening doors further is another subject.
enjoy being lost in your own personal moment with song is enjoyable ;) x

@Smashinz The lyric is definitely “He’ll open doors” since it comes from the Banks Brothers’ “He’ll Roll Your Burdens Away” along with the main lyrics about his heart and soul feeling so bad. In that song the meaning is clear. In fact, other versions of the song replace “He” with “King Jesus.” That said, the new Reprise version changes this. Given the context it sounds more likely that it is “He’s opened doors” but all the lyrics databases have already written it as “These open doors.”
