Let The Sunshine In
Diana Ross & The Temptations Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The shining stars, needed brighter shining light
Aquarius, was my savior
It came along, like a blast from out of sight
When I was weak, you came along
Enlightened me, covered the sun
You seduced me, I can never ever run
'Cause I, can only lose
When I'm, Aquarius
You're the power that I need
To make it all succeed, can hear me call?
Aquarius, is the stardust
It kills the faith, and the only one I trust
It calls your name, and you listen
It steals your soul, and your hunger and your lust
For life, and being free (it's killing me, it's killing me)
It's dragging you, it's killing me (it's killing me, it's killing me)
You seduced me, I can never ever run
'Cause I, can only lose
When I'm, Aquarius
You're the power that I need
To make it all succeed, can you hear me call? Can you hear me call?
I wish the stars would turn you in, and leave me standing in the wind
I wish the devil gave you up, and all the snow would melt and stop
This is it, I can't run away
You're controlling my life, and I can hear me say
'Cause I, can only lose
When I'm, Aquarius
Your the power that I need
To make it all succeed
I wish the stars would turn you in, and leave me standing in the wind
I wish the devil gave you up, and all the snow would melt and stop

Aquarius, was born the night
I found true salvation during a dark time
The shining stars, needed brighter shining light
Even the brightest stars required a stronger light
Aquarius, was my savior
Aquarius came into my life and saved me
It came along, like a blast from out of sight
It arrived suddenly and unexpectedly
When I was weak, you came along
In my moments of vulnerability, you appeared
Enlightened me, covered the sun
You brought enlightenment, overshadowing everything else
You seduced me, I can never ever run
You captivated me, I can never escape
'Cause I, can only lose
Because when I'm involved, I always end up losing
When I'm, Aquarius
When I'm under your influence, Aquarius
You're the power that I need
You're the strength and influence I require
To make it all succeed, can hear me call?
To achieve success, can you hear my plea?
Aquarius, is the stardust
Aquarius represents the magical essence of the stars
It kills the faith, and the only one I trust
It destroys faith and undermines the only trust I have
It calls your name, and you listen
It beckons you, and you willingly follow
It steals your soul, and your hunger and your lust
It takes away your essence, your desires, and your passions
For life, and being free (it's killing me, it's killing me)
For the joy of living and being truly free (but it's slowly destroying me)
It's dragging you, it's killing me (it's killing me, it's killing me)
It's pulling you down, and it's tormenting me (it's tormenting me, it's tormenting me)
I wish the stars would turn you in, and leave me standing in the wind
I wish the universe would expose your true nature and leave me abandoned
I wish the devil gave you up, and all the snow would melt and stop
I wish evil would release you, and all troubles would cease
This is it, I can't run away
This is my reality, I cannot escape
You're controlling my life, and I can hear me say
You have power over my existence, and I hear myself admitting it
'Cause I, can only lose
Because I always end up losing
When I'm, Aquarius
When I'm tangled in the influence of Aquarius
Your the power that I need
You are the strength I require
To make it all succeed
To achieve overall success
I wish the stars would turn you in, and leave me standing in the wind
I wish the universe would expose your true self and abandon me
I wish the devil gave you up, and all the snow would melt and stop
I wish evil would release you, and all troubles would cease
