From the Vine
Rane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Getting better over time
I want it to be like modest wine
To pick the ripest fruit right from the vine
Now we're all heading out of here
Way up to the stratosphere
Out beyond the end of the atmosphere
This is where we'll find the air to breathe
From the vine the flowers grow
From the vine the hope seed is sewn
From the vine comes turning leaf
The wine we drink puts us to sleep
The cosmos is awaiting me
The furthest stars and all the galaxies
This is where I'll find the air to breathe
And the ripest fruit right from the vine
From the vine the flowers grow
From the vine the hope seed is sewn
From the vine comes turning leaf
The wine we drink puts us to sleep
I want it to be like modest wine
Getting better over time
From the vine the flowers grow
From the vine the hope seed is sewn
I want it to be like modest wine
To pick the ripest fruit right from the vine
From the vine comes turning leaf
The wine we drink puts us to sleep
The cosmos is awaiting me
The lyrics of Rane's song, "From the Vine," evoke a sense of longing and an unquenchable thirst for life. Rane wants his life to be as rewarding as "modest wine" that ages beautifully with time. He wants to experience the simple pleasures of life, like picking the ripest fruit from the vine, and the richness that comes from living fully.
Rane's words also suggest a desire to explore the unknown and venture beyond the limits of our world. He wants to go to the "stratosphere" and beyond the "end of the atmosphere," to find the air to breathe. It is a symbolic quest to find new meanings and possibilities beyond the mundane, and embrace the limitless potential that life offers.
The song also reflects on the idea of growth and the cycle of life. From the vine, flowers grow, and hope is sown. The turning leaves represent the constant change in life, while the wine we drink puts us to sleep, suggesting that we should cherish every moment and live fully in the present.
