Elements
Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alice in her Wonderland
Her world is big but it's just pretend
Is there a day when we will understand
This circus we call life?
I keep on hearing time and time again
We don't say it just to make amends
Listen through the script of prayers
It's not necessary for an eagle to be a crow
The circle of life is here and respect we must show
[Chorus]
Earth, wind, water and fire
Seems like we've lost our desire
To fight for what we know is right
Lost in our way of life
Earth, wind, water and fire
Seems like we've lost our desire
To fight for what we know is right
The elements of life
Would you believe there are better ways
To justify what the people say?
Nothing seems unique these days
In the circus we call life
I've heard the line that I'm just a man
Nothing changes we must make a stand
And if that means to fight we can
It's not necessary for an eagle to be a crow
The circle of life is here and respect must be shown
[Chorus]
Colors and fountains and mountains and trees
Take just a second to stop and to think
God was an artist painted pictures to see
Look how beautiful life can be
Colors and fountains and mountains and trees
Take just a second to stop and to think
God was an artist painted pictures to see
Look how beautiful life can be
[Chorus]
Colors and fountains and mountains and trees
Take just a second to stop and to think
God was an artist painted pictures to see
Look how beautiful life can be
Colors and fountains and mountains and trees
Take just a second to stop and to think
God was an artist painted pictures to see
Look how beautiful life can be
The song "Elements" by Blue is a poignant reflection of the current state of our planet and the need for us to listen and take action before it's too late. The lyrics use Alice in Wonderland as a metaphor for our world - a big but pretend place. The song questions when we will truly understand this circus we call life and how important it is for us to pay attention and listen in order to make a difference. The chorus speaks of the four elements - Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire - and how it seems like we've lost our desire to fight for what we know is right. The song urges us to take a moment to reflect on the beauty of our planet and to acknowledge that we must show respect for the circle of life. We need to remember that it's not necessary for an eagle to be a crow and that we can make a difference if we choose to stand up and fight for what we believe in.

Good music is to be listened to for many, many years. People still listen to classics that over a 100 years old. I don't get the fuss about still listening to good music in 2015, 2016 or 2017!
It is great music, so it naturally lives on for years!
