Wind Parade
Jordan Rakei Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love's a wind parade
Life′s a wind parade
Love's a wind parade
Lullabies of winds defy the moon
Caught a glimpse of all I never knew
Just holding you can see it
Mother Nature speaking her soul to me
Found all the ways to believe it
It's what she′s saying that′s a mystery, yeah
I just wanna live this life forever
I just wanna live this life forever
I just wanna live this life forever
And ever
I just wanna live this life forever
Will you have a mystery forever?
Ooh, the wind parade
The wind parade
Oh, the wind parade
The wind parade
The wind parade
I never thought I'd find myself in you
But pray and tell that sun rise in you
I just wanna live this life forever
Will you have a mystery forever?
Ooh, the wind parade
The wind parade
Oh, the wind parade
The wind parade
The wind parade
The lyrics of "Wind Parade" by Jordan Rakei reflect the beauty of life and love, which are fleeting and unpredictable like a wind parade. In the chorus, Rakei repeats the lines, "Life's a wind parade, Love's a wind parade" to emphasize the transience of both these facets of human existence. He adds that the lullabies of winds "defy the moon" and he's caught a glimpse of what he never knew. This could mean that he has discovered something new and beautiful about life and love that he never experienced before. He also mentions how holding someone you love can make you feel in sync with Mother Nature and the universe.
As the song continues, Rakei expresses his desire to hold onto this moment of bliss and live this life of love forever. The closing lines, "Will you have a mystery forever? The wind parade" suggest that despite the beauty and mystery of love and life, they are fleeting and unpredictable like a wind parade. The song's overall theme is that life and love are precious, but we must also accept the inevitability of change and uncertainty.
Overall, Jordan Rakei's "Wind Parade" is a beautiful song that praises the fragility of life and love. It indicates that both of these things are transitory and unpredictable but should still be admired and valued.
