Mysterious Times
Dave Pearce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
mysterious life
we're all moving around
dancing the rhythm of life
Time,
mysterious time
we're all counting the hours and days
Were all feeling the change
but we don't know why
choose one direction just one for time
don't say I'm thinking too much
if you see what's behind
And these are mysterious times
Mysterious times
No trick of the mind
For this moment I feel
like we live in
mysterious times
If you see what's behind
these are mysterious times
Soul
I feel my soul
for this moment
nobody can stop me from flying so high
Real
I feel so real
in a world of illusion
you only see what you feel
Were all feeling the change
but we don't know why
choose one direction just one for time
don't say I'm thinking too much
if you see what's behind
And these are mysterious times
Mysterious times
No trick of the mind
For this moment I feel
like we live in
mysterious times
If you see what's behind
these are mysterious times
If you see what's behind
these are mysterious times
The lyrics of Dave Pearce's "Mysterious Times" contemplate the questions of life and time. The song speaks of the mystery of life, how it moves us around, and we continue to dance to the rhythm of life. Time is also mysterious, and we all tend to count the hours and days until the end of all time. The song speaks of how we all feel the change, but we do not know why. The lyrics encourage us to choose one direction, just one, for time, and not to think too much about it, and if we see what's behind, we can observe the mysterious times. It suggests that these times are not a trick of the mind but a reality.
Furthermore, the lyrics suggest that we have strong emotions in these times. The song talks about the soul and the feeling of euphoria that we get through these mysterious times. It encourages us to follow these emotions and fly high. The lyrics also speculate that the world we see is an illusion, and we only see what we want to see. The lyrics mention that It's important to look beyond our limitations and discover new possibilities that these mysterious times can offer.
