UNIVERSE
Neel And The Lightbulbs 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 "Universe" by Neel And The Lightbulbs are about the transcendent power of love and spirituality, and the way in which these forces can connect us to the vast, infinite expanse of the universe. The singer evokes vivid imagery of thoughts and words floating away like rain into a paper cup or drifting through an open mind, as if the boundaries between the self and the universe are porous and permeable. Similarly, broken light dancing like a million eyes and sounds of laughter and life ringing through open ears reinforce the sense of connectedness and fluidity between the individual and the universe.
The repeated line "Jai Guru Deva Om" is a Sanskrit mantra that translates to "Victory to the divine teacher within me," and it functions as a kind of spiritual anchor for the song. The repetition of "nothing's gonna change my world" also emphasizes the idea that, despite the chaos and complexity of existence, the singer's connection to the universe remains constant and unchanging. Ultimately, "Universe" is a song that celebrates the transformative power of love and spirituality, and invites listeners to connect with the infinite possibilities of the universe around them.
