His sound breaths and moves from indie pop to indie rock. The theme of the songs reflect the melancholy that lives within and the yearning for a big sky and an open road.
Who We Are
ST. NIKLAS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bearing gifts, we traverse far
Field and fountain
Moor and mountain
Following yonder star
Oh, star of wonder, star of might
Star with royal beauty bright
Still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light
Born a babe on Bethlehem's plain
Gold we bring to crown him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign
Oh, star of wonder, star of might
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading
Still proceeding
Guide us to the perfect light
Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising
Worship God on high
Oh, star of wonder, star of might
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading
Still proceeding
Guide us to the perfect light
The lyrics to "We Three Kings of Orient Are" tell the story of the journey made by the wise men or magi, as they follow a star to find the newborn baby Jesus. The song speaks of their travels across various landscapes, from fertile fields to desolate deserts - "field and fountain, moor and mountain." The wise men carry with them gifts of gold to signify Jesus' kingship, frankincense to represent his divinity, and myrrh as a symbol of his death and eventual sacrifice.
The refrain of the song, focused on the star that leads the magi towards the baby Jesus, is a clear reference to the idea of guidance and direction from a higher power. The wise men are seeking to discover the light of truth, which is symbolized by the star. In this way, the song can be seen as a celebration of the power of faith, and the idea that if we follow the guidance of a symbol or a higher power, we will eventually discover a greater truth, just as the magi did.
Overall, "We Three Kings of Orient Are" is a powerful and evocative song that speaks to the religious faith of its listeners. It celebrates the idea of seeking truth and guidance from above, and encourages us all to follow our own guiding stars towards a greater understanding of the world and ourselves.
