The lyrics of Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard's song "Elysium" are in an unknown language, but the words have been transliterated into English. The song is mostly a call to peace, love, and harmony. The main message, though veiled in the nonsensical phrasing of the lyrics, is an appeal for compassion as well as a yearning for a better world. From the beginning of the song to the end, the lyrics repeat certain phrases, with slight modifications. These modifications create a sense of development and progression towards a climax.

I listen to this song and it takes me through the endless fields of gold... to where I can see my little son. He's whole... he is dancing in the sun, robed in light.
If only for a few seconds... we are together again ♡♡
Mommy misses you, Son!
