The Wind Cries
Blue System Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you see a million eyes
Hey little world
There's an ocean of disguise
I heard a voice like a memory
It's written in my heart
Oh I don't care it's my destiny
A passenger of the dark
The wind cries tell me
Tell me who killed Norma Jean
Have you seen
The wind cries tell me
Can you mend a broken dream
Oh it seems
She is tellin' mystery
That it's not philosophy
I'm sleepin' with a memory
That's reality
Hey little girl
Do you have a broken heart
Hey little world
Is sacrifice a part
Oh I tell you once babe I tell you twice
It's a memory
It's a call babe from paradise
Called eternity
The lyrics to Blue System's song The Wind Cries depict a story of a soul haunted by memories and trying to make sense of it all. The first verse addresses a little girl, who may represent the innocence or hopefulness of the soul. The line "Do you see a million eyes?" suggests a feeling of being watched or judged by society, while "There's an ocean of disguise" implies that the world around the soul is hiding something. The voice like a memory refers to a past event or person that deeply affected the soul. Despite not knowing what their destiny is, the person accepts it and continues to move forward, being a passenger in the dark.
The second verse ties in the mythology of the song. The wind cries out a question, asking who killed Norma Jean, which is a reference to the late American actress and sex icon, Marilyn Monroe. The next line, "Can you mend a broken dream?" illustrates the soul's search for answers in order to make sense of what happened. The wind seems to be able to provide answers, as it tells the person about the mystery of the situation. The last lines of the song, "It's a call babe from paradise. Called eternity," suggests that the person wants to find a sense of peace or resolution in the next life, believing that the memories and pain they experience will be left behind.
