Taste
Moshe Hecht Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all i see is dirt
Wanna take these diamond seeds
And bring some light into the earth
Paint a picture in my mind
I′m at peace with all my brothers
Men women and children
Its a ray of beautiful colors
He's created in his image
He′s created every man
And when we search within ourselves
We can truly understand
His desire to create
We may never comprehend
But hes foretold to us his purpose
He's foretold to us his plan
Your emotions overwhelming
Your anxiety is strong
You were weak and you were lonely
Its just taking so long
But you must let go
Let the wall come down
Let the rumbling of your ego
Tumble to the ground
Because no you're not lost
And no you′re not forgotten
You got the master of the world
And all you gotta do is want him
Taste and you will see
That havaya he is sweet now
I said taste and you will see
That havaya he is sweet now
Hold on and he′ll set you free
'Cuz havaya he is sweet now
Hold on and he′ll set you free
'Cuz havaya he is sweet now
Like a sugar cane i am nurtured by your sweets
Like a honey cake ya you fill my soul with treats
Keep my mind in control and my heart at ease
But sometimes you gotta be extreme
There′s no in between
Its either klipah or kedusha
Ya you paint your own scene
You got the free choice
Its your voice
No time to rewind
Emanating from the deepest feelings inside
No need to repress, express
No need to hide
I pray three times a day
To the god of Abraham
I pray for my soul
For my people
And i pray for the holy land
I pray to the lord with these timeless ancient tefilos
I pray to the Lord to send Elijah and redeem us
The song "Taste" by Moshe Hecht is a powerful message of hope and faith that one can find in God. The first verse talks about looking out a frosted window and feeling disheartened by the sight of dirt. The artist then wants to bring light to the earth by planting diamond seeds and painting a picture in his mind. He imagines himself at peace with all his brothers, men, women, and children, and sees a ray of beautiful colors. The second verse talks about how every man is created in God's image and how it's essential to search within ourselves to understand his purpose and plan. The artist says that we may never comprehend his desire to create, but he has foretold us his plan.
In the chorus, the artist encourages the listener to taste and see that the Lord is sweet, that he will set you free. He tells the listener to let go of their ego, to let the wall come down and not be overwhelmed by their emotions, anxiety, weakness, or loneliness. The artist reminds the listener that they are not lost or forgotten, and they only have to want God. The last verse talks about how the artist is nourished by the sweetness of God, just like sugar cane or honey cake. He reminds us that we have free choice, that we can either choose kedusha (holiness) or klipah (unholy). The song ends with the artist praying for his soul, his people, and the holy land.
