Once it was
M.Art.In.I Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What was written in the stars shall be
It was written in the skies
That the heart and not the eyes shall see
And so whether it bring joy
Whether it bring woe
It shall be done
You are the one
Here as in a daydream
By my side you stand
Here with my tomorrows
In your hands
It was written high above
That I have to have your love
Or I'll never be free
And cloudy though the day be
Crazy though I may be
What the stars foretold shall be
Here as in a daydream
By my side you stand
Here with my tomorrows
In your hands
It was written high above
That I have to have your love
Or I'll never be free
And cloudy though the day be
Crazy though I may be
What the stars foretold shall be
And so shall it be
The lyrics to M.Art.In.I's song "Once It Was" talk about destiny and the idea that some things are predetermined in our lives. The song begins by stating that what was written in the stars will come to pass, and that the heart - rather than the eyes - will be the one to see it. This could be interpreted as the idea that we all have a purpose and that it is up to us to follow our hearts and intuition to fulfill it.
The chorus talks about the power of love and how it can bring both joy and woe. The singer acknowledges that whatever the outcome, it is meant to be because it was written in the stars. They then reveal that they have found the person they have been searching for and that they are the one. The lyrics imply that this relationship was also written in the stars and that it was meant to be.
The second verse continues with the theme of destiny, stating that the singer has found their soulmate and now their future is in their hands. The lyrics suggest that even though the day may be cloudy and the singer may feel crazy, it is all part of the bigger plan that was predetermined by the stars.
Overall, the song "Once It Was" is a beautiful ode to the idea that fate plays a role in our lives and that love is a powerful force that can overcome any obstacles. The lyrics are evocative and romantic, perfectly matched by the dreamy, atmospheric music that accompanies them.
