Devi
Parra for Cuva Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was written in the starry sky
That the universe belongs to the story I
Childlike is the mind, that be burning bright
Still they label us naive and they wanna fight
It's important, that we stay strong
They're distorting, what are plans are.
It's one life, don't wait until the sand's gone
Don't count to south, countdown till the blast off.
Shooting in the outta space.
They assumed, that we'd rather stay
But they don't get it, we ain't with it, we're on our way.
Now is the moment, no need to wait for another day.
Time's wasting, let's find the place and
About the harder way in the holes of this basement.
Hanging on the wall is the sign with a statement
Never lose sight of your dream, stay patient.
I'm on the day.
One of the strong, yeah, one of the brave.
And I will share with you my song till I'm in the grave.
And I don't see anything wrong with trying to play.
Who know, I might just put a smile right on your face.
There's one thing I'm forgetting of.
There's something I should let you know.




If we ever had a brunch, well I'm letting go.
You know, how the story goes.

Overall Meaning

The song "Devi" by Parra for Cuva is a motivational piece that encourages listeners to pursue their dreams despite obstacles and naysayers. The opening lines of the song suggest that the universe is waiting for the singer ("Story I") to take control and make something of their life. The use of the term "childlike" emphasizes the innocence and purity of their intentions, while the phrase "burning bright" suggests a fierce determination.


However, there is resistance from others who consider the singer's ideas naive and even dangerous. Despite this, the chorus urges listeners to remain strong and focused, counting down until the moment when they can launch themselves "shooting in the outta space." The song acknowledges that the journey will be difficult and require patience and perseverance, but the message is ultimately one of hope and possibility.


The final lines of the song add a personal touch, with the singer suggesting that they are willing to share their story and their song with anyone who will listen. The ambiguous reference to a "brunch" and a story that "you know how it goes" hints at a deeper connection between the singer and the listener, perhaps suggesting that they have faced similar challenges or shared similar dreams.


Overall, "Devi" is a powerful and uplifting song that encourages listeners to embrace their passions and pursue their goals with courage and conviction.

lyrics: (correct me if I'm wrong)
------
It was written in the starry sky,
That the universe belongs to the starry eye,
Child-like is the mind that be burning bright
Still they label us naive and they wanna fight
Its important that we stand strong
They're distorting what our plans are
It's one life, don't wait until the sand's gone
Don't count us out, count down until blast off

We'll be shootin into outer space
They assume that we'd rather stay
No they don't get it no we aint with it we on our way
Now is our moment no need to wait for another day

Time's wastin, let's find a place and fly to hide away
In the hallways of this basement,
Hanging on the walls is a sign with a statement:
"Never lose sight of your dreams, stay patient"
I'm one of they - one of the strong, yeah one of the brave
And I will share with you my song 'til I'm in the grave
And I don't see anything wrong with trying to play
Who knows, it might just put a smile right on your face

There's one thing I'm forgettin though
There's something I should let you know
If we ever had a grudge, well I'm lettin go
You know how the story goes

I tell 'em that the past don't matter
The money — it don't matter
No, it really don't matter to me
