Wind
Sara Najafi (www.persianhub.com) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lies and desire
And the fuel to humble fires
Considering the end, where the winds begin
And I see the way we're lost among the episodes
They cannot see the whole or the passing role

Where the winds begin
We pass away the time in memorial
Yea for the ride upon the manic carousel
Meanings turn to one and become...

The ease of despair
Momentary is the breath
We are merely under water, suffocating there
The time speeds beyond the shadows
Wheezing this alone
I find the peace knowing even this is passing by

Where the winds begin
We pass away the time in memorial
Yea for the ride upon the manic carousel
Three into two to one and become or you'll...
All fall down...
All fall down...
All fall down...
All fall down...
We all fall down...
We all fall down...
We all fall down...
We all fall down...

Where the winds begin
We pass away the time in memorial
Yea for the ride upon the manic carousel
Three into two to one and become...

Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Shut up!
Oh shut up
You shut up!
You shut up!
You shut up!
You shut up!
You shut up!
Shut up!

Ashes...
Ashes...
Ashes...




Ashes...
Ashes...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sara Najafi's song "Wind" explore the themes of lies and desire and how they ignite humbleness and despair. The song depicts the futility of living a life in which we are lost among different episodes, unable to see the bigger picture of things. As the song progresses, we hear about coming to terms with the fact that everything is momentary, and we are only here for a ride upon the manic carousel. The lyrics then shift to a repetition of "all fall down" signifying how even the best things come to an end, and everything eventually crumbles like ash, and we are forced to start again. Throughout the song, the singer reflects on their life's fleeting nature and accepts that everything, including the good and the bad, will pass away.


The line "Where the winds begin" could symbolize a new start or a beginning of a new chapter. The song also refers to the carousel, which turns the meanings into one and eventually crumbles them into pieces. The singer is now attuned to the fact that time speeds beyond the shadows, and everything is passing by, and the only way to find peace is to come to terms with this reality. The repeated "Shut up" lines could represent the singer's conflict with themselves, urging them to silence their fears and insecurities to accept the natural order of things.


Line by Line Meaning

Lies and desire
Falsehoods and longing


And the fuel to humble fires
The means to extinguish passions


Considering the end, where the winds begin
Thinking of the finale, of the origins of change


And I see the way we're lost among the episodes
And I observe how we wander through life's events


They cannot see the whole or the passing role
They cannot perceive the big picture nor their fleeting participation


We pass away the time in memorial
We spend our days in commemoration


Yea for the ride upon the manic carousel
Yes, for the journey on the frenzied merry-go-round


Meanings turn to one and become...
Significances merge into one and transform into...


The ease of despair
The comfort of hopelessness


Momentary is the breath
Brief is the life


We are merely under water, suffocating there
We're just submerged, gasping for air


The time speeds beyond the shadows
Time rushes past the darkness


Wheezing this alone
Barely breathing in solitude


I find the peace knowing even this is passing by
I find serenity in the awareness that this too shall pass


Three into two to one and become or you'll...
Three elements merge into two to form a whole, or you'll...


All fall down...
All crumble to the ground...


Shut up!
Be quiet!


Oh shut up
Oh be quiet


Ashes...
Remains...

Terrific! So joyous! How I'd love to experience this in person!

Jeff Lavezzo

Supertastic song everyone! I was washing dishes this evening and the music from the part of your song where you sing, "and bring them to their blossoming" was bouncing around my head. I had to stop and figure out where it was from, then listen to the song twice because it was so good. Then send it to friends. :D

For those interested, the main part of the song is from the end of this passage in Selections from the Writings of `Abdu'l-Baha (https://reference.bahai.org/en/t/ab/SAB/sab-201.html) and the end of the song uses a line from Paris Talks:
"Thus I exhort each of you, realizing its power and beauty, to sacrifice all your thoughts, words and actions to bring the knowledge of the Love of God into every heart."
