Meditation
Edmundo Ros & His Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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.

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.

Line by Line Meaning

I am lost in meditation
I am deeply absorbed in thought and contemplation

And my reverie
And my daydreaming

Brings you back to me
Makes me think of you once again

For in my imagination
Because in my mind

Love has lingered on
The feeling of love has remained

As though you'd never gone.
As if you never left

This is just a dream that cannot last
This feeling is temporary and cannot continue forever

When the magic of this mood has passed.
When the enchantment of this feeling is over

So I sit in meditation
So I continue to contemplate and reflect

Trying to pretend this mood will never end.
Trying to convince myself that this feeling will never cease
