A Mile in My Shoes
Cosmic Gate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel what is there
After so many days
You clock ticks twelve
It's OK
Fight your need
To make it clear to me
That need will disappear
Set you free
Look at you through my eyes
And see what I see
Maybe you're agonize
Too numb to take in
Set you free
Set you free
In search of release
In touch with yourself
After so many nights
So lost in your eyes
It's OK
All you need
Unlock your ecstasy
Walk a mile in my shoes
That need will disappear
Set you free
The lyrics to Cosmic Gate's song "A Mile in My Shoes" speak to the idea of empathy and understanding. The opening lines encourage the listener to be patient and to put in the time to truly feel what someone else is experiencing. The clock reference suggests the passage of time, indicating that it may take some time to fully comprehend another person's perspective. However, the song then offers a promise that once we have walked a mile in another person's shoes, our perspective will shift and we will be set free from the need to make our own experiences and opinions the only valid ones.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea of walking a mile in someone else's shoes in order to set yourself free. The lyrics suggest that by looking at the world through someone else's eyes, we can gain new insight and understanding that may change our own way of thinking. The song encourages the listener to not only empathize with others, but also to be in touch with their own emotions and desires. The final lines offer a message of hope and release, suggesting that true understanding can bring about a sense of freedom and liberation.
