Universe
Mister-Elements-Projekt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
Are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai Guru Deva. Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light, which
Dance before me like a million eyes,
They call me on and on across the universe.
Thoughts meander like a
Restless wind inside a letter box
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.
Jai Guru Deva. Om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter, shades of life
Are ringing through my opened ears
Inciting and inviting me.
Limitless undying love, which
Shines around me like a million suns,
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai Guru Deva.
Jai Guru Deva.
Jai Guru Deva.
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
The lyrics of the Mister-Elements-Projekt's song "Universe" present a vivid description of the power of the mind in shaping an individual's perception of the world around them. The opening lines talk about how thoughts and words flow like rain into a paper cup, and how they can be simultaneously captivating and elusive, slipping away just as quickly. The imagery here is striking, as if the mind is trying to grasp onto something fleeting like a cup trying to capture an endless rainfall.
The following lines talk about the contrasting emotions of sorrow and joy, which can both inhabit the same space in our minds at the same time. The use of the words "possessing and caressing" illustrates how these powerful emotions can consume us entirely.
The mention of "Jai Guru Deva" is significant as it represents the Hindu chant of "Victory to the Divine Teacher". This phrase has now been widely accepted and utilized in various cultures and spiritual beliefs around the world. The subsequent repetition of "nothing's gonna change my world" serves to emphasize how the state of the mind remains unchanged even with the presence of external factors.
There is a unique sense of imagination behind the lyrics of "Universe". The comparison of thoughts to a "restless wind inside a letter box" is a telling example of the vivid and sometimes unpredictable nature of our inner selves. The description of "images of broken light dancing like a million eyes" is a powerful image of the mind's ability to create and perceive different versions of reality.
The song also emphasizes how sounds and shades can influence an individual. The idea of "limitless undying love" represents the beauty of infinity, while the imagery of "a million suns shining around" emphasizes the vastness of the universe. The entire song provides a mesmerizing and insightful depiction of the power of the mind and how it interprets the world.
