Its Yours
Jon Cutler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What makes you journey into the night
And take flight on a pursuit of musical bliss?
Chasing beats through ghetto streets
To a dungeonous temple left by our soul descendants
In a quest for peace, energy and light.
If you were to find this temple,
Do you want it?
And if you had it, would you flaunt it?
Well It's yours!"
There is approaching light
A-flowing, soaring through your world
The fire burns within your heart
And now it's yours
If you feel it in yourself
I know the light goes through the stars
Acquiring entrance to the temple is hard but fair.
Trust in God-forsaken elements
Because the reward is well worth the journey.
Stay steadfast in your pursuit of the light.
The light is knowledge.
Do you want it?
And if you had it, would you flaunt it?
It's yours!"
There is approaching light
A-flowing, soaring through your world
The fire burns within your heart
And now it's yours
If you feel it in yourself
I know the light goes through the stars
Well, It's yours
Well, It's yours
You stay true to your quest.
So let the beauty that is the musical universe engulf
You.
Recharge your spirit.
Purify your mind.
Touch your soul.
And give you the eternal joy and happiness you truly
Deserve.
You now have the knowledge.
Do you want it?
And if you had it, would you flaunt it?
Well It's yours!"
Well, It's yours
Ah
There is approaching light
A-flowing, soaring through your world
The fire burns within your heart
And now it's yours
If you feel it in yourself
I know the light goes through the stars
There is approaching light
A-flowing, soaring through your world
The fire burns within your heart
And now it's yours
If you feel it in yourself
I know the light goes through the stars
Well, It's yours
Well, It's yours
The lyrics to Jon Cutler's song "It's yours" focus on a person's pursuit of knowledge, peace, energy, and light through music. Cutler talks about chasing beats through ghetto streets, with the aim of finding a temple left by our soul descendants. The temple represents the knowledge and peace we seek, and the journey to acquire entrance can be hard but justifiable. When we finally get to the temple, we must treat the knowledge we find with reverence and respect, and not flaunt it. The beauty of the musical universe is ours to embrace, purify our minds and touch our souls, as we experience eternal happiness and joy.
The song encourages listeners to stay steadfast in their pursuit of knowledge and peace through music and the universe. It affirms that the journey is worth it, and the reward is well deserved. The light that Cutler speaks of represents knowledge and peace, and it's available to us all. However, we must seek it with a pure heart and maintain the respect it deserves. The chorus, "Well, it's yours," reiterates that the music, knowledge, and the beautiful universe surrounding us belong to us, and we alone have the power to embrace it.
