The Veil
Courage feat. Dear Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are the greatest story life has ever told
Ten thousand nights together we will grow old.
Who are we and what have we forgotten?
()
Lift the veil and see the light.
The fall resets your mind.
I thirst for things I've never thought of .
Lift the veil and see the light.
The fall resets your mind.
Man in black look in the corner.
I've gotta find my way back to her.
(Vs2)
Back to the one that holds my heart and I call home. She's the anchor and I'm starring down the storm.
The math behind experience: 3 coordinates and time is 4th. Illusions seem so real to us. The eternal now is where you ar.e
I am, the greatest story life has ever told.
Space and time is like a mind. Through conscious eyes, I am (the universe), You are observing.

Lift the veil and see the light.
The fall resets your mind.
Brown haired angel bring me water.
I thirst for things I've never thought of .
Lift the veil and see the light.
The fall resets your mind.
Man in black look in the corner.
Ive gotta find my way...
(Bridge)
Say good night to the cosmos. Look at me, love, it's time to go. I'm going to take you back to our home. I'll never leave you alone. Behind the veil what were you shown.
Lift the veil and see the light.
Give me paper, give me a pen, I'll turn the world upside down again.

Lift the veil and see the light.
The fall resets your mind.
Brown haired angel bring me water.
I thirst for things I've never thought of .
Lift the veil and see the light.
The fall resets your mind.
Man in black look in the corner.
Ive gotta find ... Have got to find my way...
(Ending)
Back to the one that holds my heart . Her name is love, I call her home. I can feel her in my heart, it's in my mind... She's in my soul and all through space and time, to the Planck length and far behind, compassion is the driving force we will find.
Night after night, I live the life where we grow old. All the silver linings in my clouds are shimmering in gold. Because I've seen everything through these fragmented dreams, and now I can't remember anything.
What if I told you we are all just asleep
Nothing here is quite what it seems.
Live your life like a lucid dream.
Waiting for the event, the awakening.
I've seen the water become light and we all drown through water.
And walk into the light. Then the circles become everything. It was everything I have ever seen, but nothing was me. I am the nothing. I will awake to everything.
The lyrics to "The Veil" by Courage feat. Dear Heart can be interpreted as a reflection on the nature of reality and the human experience within it. The first verse imagines the possibility of dreaming for 87 years a night, suggesting that our waking lives may be just as illusory as dreams. The line "repeat the hide and seek" can be seen as a reference to the game children play, but it also speaks to the idea that we are constantly searching for something in life, perhaps for meaning or fulfillment. The chorus calls on the listener to lift the veil and see the light, which could represent a desire for greater understanding or enlightenment. The second verse speaks to the idea that our experiences in life are shaping who we are and the importance of relationships in this process. The bridge suggests that there may be more to the world than meets the eye, and that love and compassion are important driving forces in life. The song ends with an existential reflection on the fleeting nature of life and the potential for awakening to a greater reality.
