Eperdu
Sarah Brightman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No way it comes to pass
It's the shore movement, she's happy being there
For an age before the stars that beat
Now there's no more dreamers
For I am happy,
oh shine on
In our flowered air
Our walls crumbled in

Fear of some, who we know
These are feelings, suffering
Tell me now this is, true love
My soul's on fire, floating slowly
Olden days, olden days
I felt sheltered in and thank you
Treasure spread
Tremors in safe heart
Be younger than my young self
where we were
Loving my guidance
Feeling of flying

Fear of some who we know
These are feelings of suffering
Tell me now this is true love
My soul's on fire, floating slowly

I am charmed
I am charmed

I am charmed
I am charmed.

Line by Line Meaning

No way it comes to pass
It seems impossible to happen

It's the shore movement, she's happy being there
It's the calming sound of the waves that makes her happy

For an age before the stars that beat
It was a long time ago, before the stars existed

Now there's no more dreamers
No one dreams anymore

For I am happy, oh shine on
She is happy and wants to keep feeling that way

In our flowered air
The air around them is filled with the beauty of flowers

Our walls crumbled in
Their walls have crumbled but they feel free without them

Fear of some, who we know
They fear some people they know

These are feelings, suffering
These feelings they have are causing them to suffer

Tell me now this is, true love
They want to know if what they're feeling is true love

My soul's on fire, floating slowly
Their soul is burning and they feel weightless
