IMAGINATION
Arida Vortex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this wolrd I'm living in
I'm the one who tries
To reach the unknown
As proud as an eagle
Who's facing straight
Against the wind
I need all my might to carry on
I'm on that way again
Imagination
Show me the place I want to be in
Imagination
Break my deepest fears
Imagination
When I'm looking inside
The foreteller's sphere
Imagination
I want to see it clear
What's beyond the curtain
That surrounds me
In my mortal cage
Where I'm playing games
Of flame and ice
I always knew when
You watched me
And tried to hide
My fear and pain
To keep it somewhere
Deep inside my eyes
The first verse presents the singer as a lonely stranger living in an unknown world. Despite the obstacles, the singer tries to explore and experience new things, as determined as an eagle who faces the winds. However, he admits that he needs all his courage and strength to keep going forward. The second part of the verse implies that the singer has been here before and is aware of the challenges ahead.
The chorus is a plea to imagination, which the singer hopes will show him the place where he wants to be. He asks it to break his deepest fears and to help him see beyond the curtain that surrounds him in his mortal cage, where he plays games of flame and ice. He has been aware of someone watching him and trying to hide his fear and pain -- implying that he has tried to mask his own emotions to avoid being vulnerable.

I'm a lonely stranger
I feel isolated and alone in this world
In this wolrd I'm living in
I feel like an outsider in the world around me
I'm the one who tries
I am the one who makes an effort to find meaning and purpose
To reach the unknown
I strive to explore and discover new things
As proud as an eagle
I am confident and strong like an eagle
Who's facing straight
I am standing up straight and facing my challenges head-on
Against the wind
Even when things are difficult, I don't give up
I need all my might to carry on
I have to use all my strength to persevere
Imagination
My imagination is what gives me hope and inspiration
Show me the place I want to be in

The foreteller's sphere
I use my imagination to predict and plan for the future

What's beyond the curtain
I want to know what lies beyond what is visible
That surrounds me
The barriers that constrain me
In my mortal cage
In my limited and temporary existence
Where I'm playing games
Where I engage in the struggles of life
Of flame and ice
Of passion and hardship
I always knew when
I instinctively sensed when
You watched me
Others were observing me
And tried to hide
I attempted to conceal
My fear and pain
My emotional struggles
To keep it somewhere
To avoid exposing it
Deep inside my eyes
In the depths of my psyche
