Imagination
Shaw Woody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you tell me what you see
There's a thousand voices whispering
Songs and you're the melody
So I imagine my heart with you
See what imagination can do
It's not hard to conceive
Many, many days our shadows passed
Seeing visions of a new bright horizon
Set the morning light
And that morning light is you
So I imagine my heart with you
See what imagination can do
It's not hard to conceive
love ecstasy imagining you, imagining me
The beauty we both can see
You're the dream I prayed would come along
To make my fantasy
Day and night you live inside my heart
You're the flame of love to me
The lyrics to Shaw Woody's song "Imagination" describe the magical and transformative power of imagination when it comes to matters of the heart. The opening line "Magic mirror come and search my heart, can you tell me what you see?" sets the scene for a profound introspective journey. The singer is keen to look within himself and understand what he truly desires in a partner. He acknowledges the presence of a thousand voices that are whispering, singing, but he only hears the one melody that stands out, and that melody is the one that belongs to his beloved.
The song then moves on to describe the power of imagination. The singer imagines his heart with his beloved and sees what imaginative, beautiful, and transformative things can happen with that simple act. He recognizes that love and ecstasy can be experienced, simply by imagining them with the right person.
The song ends with the singer expressing his fervent desire for his beloved to be with him always. The final line, "You're the flame of love to me," brings the whole song full circle, highlighting the transformative power of love when it is ignited by the fuel of a vivid and creative imagination.
