Bedouin Song
Lior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Naked in the face of tomorrow
Ooh, and the madness of black desert rain
That lets you rise up and flourish once again
Heading east
Bursting into calm sea like a river released
And the cool night will flow into the heat of the day
I will find my way
Oh, Bedouin song
Is all i really own
Ooh, how strong the temptation to fall
While black desert rain
Runs through my veins
Opening windows of shame
Wild moon above
Go on tell me there is love
I will lose this shadow
I will find my way
Wild moon above
Go on tell me there is love
I will find my inspiration
I will find my way
The lyrics of Lior's song Bedouin Song vividly describe the journey of a person who seeks to find his way in the world. Leaving behind the shadows of the western world, he ventures into the black desert rain, which represents the madness and chaos of life. Despite the challenges, he rises up and flourishes once again as he heads towards the east, bursting into the calm sea like a river released. The cool night transforms into the heat of the day, and he finally finds his way, losing his shadow.
The chorus of the song, "Oh, Bedouin song is all I really own, how strong the temptation to fall," suggests that the singer has found refuge in music and that it is the only thing that truly belongs to him. The black desert rain that runs through his veins and opens windows of shame represents the challenges and hardships that he has faced in life. The wild moon above represents hope and love, inspiring him to find his way.
The song is a beautiful representation of the human journey and the struggles one faces in finding their path in life. The imagery of the lyrics is poetic and evocative, taking the listener on a journey towards self-discovery and self-realization.
