![]() ![]() Once again our attempts of getting ahold of them are ridiculized by the image of the wind inside a letter box, another impossible attempt. The lines that follows, continues with the idea of the lack of importance of our tribulations here on earth, and the our need to let them go. It is a literal image of us elevating through meditation and joining the stars, our universe. It's about a calling to it's beauty, and later, the star's call for us to join them across the universe, these are just beautifull images that add to the song’s mood of mysticism. For me, these images are a metaphor of the stars, of the open universe in it's literall meaning, the one we think about when we hear the word universe. The verses that follow this chorus, "Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,", in my opinion are much more open to interpretation. It's almost the inverse of being selfish, it's about abandoning one self and becoming whole with everything that's outside of us, achieving inner peace. It's the same sense of peace, tranquility, conformity and of communion with the self and the world of the entire song. ![]() For me, it's more about not WANTING to change the world, not needing to do it, than not LETTING anyone change it, as a way of defending it or blinding ourselves. “Nothing's gonna change my world” may sound a little selfish, arrogant and close-minded at first (at least for me) and even more if you look at it as a sentence on its own.īut if you relate it with the context of the song (buddhist meditation) nothing's gonna change my world is really about accepting the world and the universe as it is, feeling happy and calm about it, wanting nothing more and nothing less of it. Then there's the mantra, it doesn't matter what it means, for me it's related to the way of getting into that state. “Pools of sorrow waves of joy are drifting through my open mind, Possessing and caressing me”, opening your mind is the key element here. About letting everything into you, the good and the bad, and at the same time letting nothing affect you.Įmbrace everything but remain unmoved, loving everything and accepting this things as inevitable and almost neccesary. The next verses are about the feelings that fill overwhelm him, when he achieves that state. The images in the first lines of the song represents this lack of importance of word, talking and worrying in general, “Words like endless rain into a paper cup”, paper cups can never keep rain inside of them, they are uncapable of holding them as we are uncapable to hold onto words, so he let's them go, “Slip away across the universe”, through meditation, that feeling of your head going “blank”. Become one with the universe and everything around us, lose our individuality and become unviversal. Just feel everything around us, below us and above us. It ridiculizes earthly worries, and urges us to open our senses and feel. It's about our lack of importance in relation to our world, our universe. I think this song is, most of all about about achieving a state of mind where you no longer need to think, where your thoughts, your words and your concerns go away. not just a certain race or religion.just the kindness of humanity across all of the universe. encouraged by words of all people around the world. It calls me on and on across the universe" -here it is explained how he is surrounded by words of feeling and hope. Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns, Through my open views inciting and inviting me. "Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing The very idea that love or sorrow exists, allows for love or sorrow to actually be. They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe." I think these words encourage the belief that such words of meaning and feeling, when spoken, can be passed on from person to the next just by the very sound of them and thoughts of them. ![]() ![]() "Words are flying out like endless rain into a paper cup, Maybe such words of joy, happiness and even sorrow are contagious. I'm quite sure what he is actually referring to when the song was written, but my interpretation would be the following: Perhaps there is hope for peace or love through words and thoughts. It calls me on and on across the universe Which shines around me like a million suns They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box They call me on and on across the universe Which dance before me like a million eyes ![]()
