Ray of Light
Madonna (Ciccone) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
Faster than the speeding light she's flying
Trying to remember where it all began
She's got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as one
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone
And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Then gone for
Someone else will be there
Through the endless years
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
And I feel
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light she's flying
Quicker than a ray of light I'm flying
In Madonna's song, Ray of Light, she explores themes of spirituality, self-discovery, and the search for a higher power. The lyrics in the first verse reflect on the universal questions we have about the afterlife and where we go when we die. She wonders whether her tears of mourning will sink beneath the sun, suggesting that she questions whether her pain and sorrow will be lost or forgotten when she dies. The line "She's got herself a universe gone quickly" may signify that life is fleeting and we must make the most of it, while "the call of thunder threatens everyone" could be interpreted as the unpredictable nature of life.
In the chorus, Madonna repeatedly expresses the feeling of "just getting home," which suggests that she has finally found a sense of belonging or purpose in life. The second verse describes a woman who is trying to remember where it all began and has found peace in her own little piece of heaven. She is waiting for a time when the world can be united as one, which could reflect Madonna's desire for greater unity and love among humanity.
Overall, Ray of Light is a deeply introspective song that explores the complexities of the human experience and the search for meaning and spirituality.
