Southern Cross

You are standing here as true as you were born on this earth.
Don't pin all your hopes and your dreams on somebody else's lives.

The Southern cross is twinkling and watching us.
Far beyond, so far away from us.
The Southern Cross is a holy light.
We are the crusaders of the Southern Cross.

Go, if you come up against a hurdle;
Fight, fight for the things you believe in.
Passion, Joy, Sorrow, pain and tears.
All they will be pabulum of your life.
Go, if you come under the wet yourself.
Fight, fight for the person you believe in.
Destiny is calling you...
"Obey me, or defy me"

(Piano Solo)

The Southern cross is twinkling and watching us.
Far beyond, so far away from us.
The Southern Cross is a holy light.
We are the crusaders of the Southern Cross.

Go, if you come up against a hurdle.
Fight, fight for the things you believe in.
Passion, Joy, Sorrow, pain and tears.
All they will be pabulum of your life.
Go, if you come under the wet yourself.
Fight, fight for the person you believe in.
Destiny is calling you...
"Obey me, or defy me"

(Piano Solo & Guitar Solo)

Is there a thing which is superior to love in this world?
A man is living with loving someone and then being loved by others.
We are standing here as true as we were born on this earth.
The moment of yesterday when we lived is never waste.

Go, if you come up against a hurdle.
Fight, fight for the things you believe in.
Passion, Joy, Sorrow, pain and tears.
All they will be pabulum of your life.
Go, if you come under the wet yourself.
Fight, fight for the person you believe in.
Destiny is calling you...
"Obey me, or defy me"

"......"

This little time that you live here
May be treasure when you are old.
Go, if you come away from your way.
Find, find your own way that you believe in.
Destiny is challenging you...
"Obey me, or defy me"

We cannot turn back to our past.
We cannot change our past.




However, we're heading for the future.
So, let us reach out our hands.....our hands!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 403’s Southern Cross are an inspiring encouragement to never give up on one’s dreams and beliefs. The opening lines insist upon self-reliance and the importance of manifesting one’s own destiny. The reference to the Southern Cross, a constellation known for its religious and navigational significance, evokes a sense of reverence for guidance and protection from a higher power. The repeated refrain of fighting for what one believes in, and not giving up when faced with obstacles, is a call for perseverance and determination.


The lyrics further reflect on the complexities of life, acknowledging that passion, joy, sorrow, pain, and tears are all inevitable and make up the “pabulum” of our existence. The emphasis is not to avoid these emotions but to face them head-on and fight through them. There is a sense of urgency in the lyrics, reinforced by the repeated chorus and instrumental solos, that life is fleeting and one must make the most of their time.


The closing lines express the idea that one’s experiences in life are a treasure to be cherished, and that destiny is constantly challenging us to either comply or rebel. While it is impossible to change the past, the message is to focus on the future and to reach out to others for support and guidance.
