Meditation
Chamaco Domínguez And His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my reverie
Brings you back to me
For in my imagination
Love has lingered on
As though you'd never gone.
This is just a dream that cannot last
So I sit in meditation
Trying to pretend this mood will never end.
I am lost in meditation
And my reverie
Brings you back to me
For in my imagination
Love has lingered on
As though you'd never gone.
This is just a dream that cannot last
When the magic of this mood has passed.
So I sit in meditation
Trying to pretend this mood will never end.
The lyrics to "Meditation" by Chamaco Domínguez And His Orchestra depict a state of deep meditation where the singer is lost in his thoughts, and his mind is bringing memories of a lost love back to him. In his reverie, he imagines that love had never left him, and it has lingered on. However, he is aware that this is just a temporary dream and that the magic of this mood will pass. The singer tries to hold onto this feeling, and he sits in meditation, hoping it will never end.
The song's lyrics convey a bittersweet emotion of wanting to hold onto a feeling that is ultimately fleeting. The use of the word "imagining" in the second verse suggests that the singer is aware that his lost love is just a figment of his imagination. The song's contemplative and introspective lyrics are matched by its gentle Bossa Nova beat and the serene instrumentation from Chamaco Domínguez And His Orchestra.
Line by Line Meaning
I am lost in meditation
I am deeply engrossed in contemplation and introspection, focusing solely on my thoughts and feelings.
And my reverie
And my daydreams, my fanciful and pleasant musings.
Brings you back to me
Reminds me of you, conjures up memories and feelings of our time together.
For in my imagination
Because in my mind's eye, in my creative and imaginative thoughts,
Love has lingered on
Love has continued, persisted, remained despite our separation.
As though you'd never gone.
As though you had never left, as though you were still here with me.
This is just a dream that cannot last
This is merely a fantasy that is fleeting, impermanent, and cannot be sustained forever.
When the magic of this mood has passed.
When the enchantment of this emotional state has dissipated, disappeared.
So I sit in meditation
Therefore, I continue my meditation, my contemplation, and reflection.
Trying to pretend this mood will never end.
Attempting to persuade myself that this feeling will last permanently, refusing to acknowledge its transience.
