דרך המשי
יהודית רביץ Lyrics

The opening lines of יהודית רביץ's song דרך המשי, which translates to "Let's walk on the Silk Road, Through the inner walls, Let's immerse all the difficulty, In all the soft marshes", sets a mysterious and adventurous tone. The Silk Road was an ancient trade route that spanned thousands of miles from Europe to Asia, known for its luxurious and exotic goods. In this song, however, the Silk Road serves as a metaphor for an inner journey rather than a physical one. The singer invites the listener to join them on this inner journey, through the inner walls of their psyche. The "difficulty" that the singer wants to immerse in the "soft marshes" could represent their emotional or psychological struggles.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrases "body inside body, inside body", "heat inside heat, inside heat", and "a bird elevating to fly, a woman breaking inside me suddenly". These lines suggest a sense of layered depth within the singer's individual experience. The image of being "inside" one's own body, within multiple layers of "heat", implies a sense of overwhelming emotion or passion. The bird elevating to fly could represent a sense of freedom or release, while the "broken" woman could symbolize the singer's own vulnerability or emotional struggle.
