Across The Universe
Across the Universe - Fiona Apple Lyrics

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
My thoughts and emotions are pouring out of me rapidly and without constraint, only to be temporarily contained and forgotten, like raindrops falling into a paper cup.

They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.
My thoughts and feelings take on a life of their own, moving and changing as they traverse throughout the universe, leaving me behind.

Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind,
My mind is open and receiving a wide range of emotions - both negative and positive - which ebb and flow like pools of sorrow and waves of joy.

Possessing and caressing me.
These emotions have a hold on me, both comforting and overwhelming me in their grasp.

Jai Guru Deva Om
An Eastern mantra expressing the idea of universal consciousness and invoking a sense of peace and calmness.

Nothing's gonna change my world,
Despite the chaos and uncertainty around me, I am convinced that nothing can change my own personal outlook and feelings.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
I am transfixed by the beauty of fragmented light, which sparkles before me like a million eyes, inviting me in to an ethereal world of wonder.

They call me on and on across the universe.
These images beckon me forward, drawing me deeper into the vast expanse of the universe, unable to resist their allure.

Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box,
My thoughts are erratic and unpredictable, flitting about like a gust of wind in a small container, unable to be tamed or confined.

They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.
As my thoughts move further out into the universe, they become increasingly disorienting and obscure, no longer able to navigate the vast, unknown terrain.

Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing
The echoes of laughter and the rich, earthy tones of the universe surround me, filling my consciousness with their vibrant energy.

Through my open ears inciting and inviting me.
I am drawn into the universe and the primal sounds that it emits, unable to resist their all-encompassing pull.

Limitless, undying love, which shines around me like a million suns,
The universe emits a profound and infinite love that surrounds me, radiant and luminous like a million suns.

And calls me on and on across the universe.
This boundless love continues to call out to me across the vast and unending expanse of the universe.

Jai Guru Deva Om
Once again invoking a sense of calm and acceptance, recognizing the profound connection between all living beings and the universe at large.

Jai Guru Deva
Continuing the mantra, expressing a sense of unity and oneness with the universe and all those around us.

Jai Guru Deva...
The mantra fades into a peaceful silence, our consciousness temporarily at rest before being called out again across the vast and infinite universe.
