In 2007, Knowles began to record music again. Her second studio album Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams (2008) deviated from the pop-oriented music of her debut to Motown-inspired sounds from the 60's and 70's. It peaked at number nine on the US Billboard 200 and received positive reviews from critics. She followed this up with the 1980s pop and R&B-inspired EP True (2012) on Terrible Records and her imprint Saint Records. Her third studio album, A Seat at the Table (2016) was released to widespread critical acclaim and became her first number-one album in the United States. The album's lead single, "Cranes in the Sky" won the Grammy for Best R&B Performance. Her fourth studio album, When I Get Home, was released in March 2019 to further critical acclaim.
Knowles was heavily influenced by Motown girl groups and says that her first passion is songwriting. Frequently compared by the media to her sister Beyoncé, Knowles has claimed that they have different aspirations and are musically different. She has been ranked by Billboard as the 100th most successful dance artist of all-time, and in 2017 was honored with the "Impact Award" at Billboard Women in Music. Her other ventures include an endorsement deal with Rimmel London and a line of hip-hop-oriented merchandise for young children.
Cosmic Journey
Solange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can bring you to me
Just given me the only warmth to feel
Can we lay in this space until forever?
Till the moments around us all are still
And tell me where do we go?
On this winding, traveling open road
Far in the night you and I don't look back you will find me
Cosmic journey
And I love you I swear
Cosmic journey
And I love you I swear
Won't you go deeper than deep can dig into me
Make the words roll over your tongue to mine
As I probably kiss you better than I'll tell you
And the way that you touch feel so sublime
Be all mine
And discover you in as you will find
Far into the night you and I don't look back and you'll find me
Cosmic journey
And I love you I swear
Cosmic journey
And I love you I swear
Cosmic journey
And I love you I swear
Cosmic journey
And I love you I swear
And I love you I swear
Cosmic journey
And I love you I swear
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go
The lyrics to Solange's song "Cosmic Journey" speak about love and intimacy, capturing a moment between two people who are deeply connected. The opening verse invites the other person to come closer, to bring themselves as close as possible to the singer, so they can feel the warmth of their presence. The singer longs for this moment to last forever, for time to stand still so they can revel in the beauty of the connection they share. The final lines ask where the journey will take them, as they travel down an open road together.
The second verse expresses the same intensity of feeling in even more explicit terms. The singer asks their lover to go even deeper than physical touch, to really become intertwined with them in every way. The words they exchange are like a kiss, deepening the bond between them. The chorus repeats the phrase "cosmic journey" as a way of encapsulating the experience they are sharing, and the final lines of the song are an invitation to keep exploring that journey together.
Overall, "Cosmic Journey" is a song about the power of love to transcend time and space, to connect two people in a way that goes beyond physical boundaries. It's a beautiful evocation of the deep, intimate moments that can occur when two people truly connect with one another.
Line by Line Meaning
Won't you move closer than close
Please come closer to me, as close as you can get
Can bring you to me
I want to bring you to my life
Just given me the only warmth to feel
Your presence is the only source of warmth that I feel
Can we lay in this space until forever?
Can we spend all our time in this place forever?
Till the moments around us all are still
Until everything around us is completely still and quiet
And tell me where do we go?
I'm curious about where our journey will take us
On this winding, traveling open road
On the journey we're taking, which is full of twists and turns
To the hills where the love people go
To a special place where people in love often go
Far in the night you and I don't look back you will find me
If you keep searching in the night, you'll find me and I won't turn back
Cosmic journey
Our journey is guided by the universe and its forces
And I love you I swear
I truly love you, I promise
Won't you go deeper than deep can dig into me
I want you to explore and reach the depths of my being
Make the words roll over your tongue to mine
Speak to me softly and let your words caress mine
As I probably kiss you better than I'll tell you
My kisses convey my feelings better than my words ever will
And the way that you touch feel so sublime
Your touch is incredibly beautiful and pleasurable
Be all mine
I want you to belong to me completely
And discover you in as you will find
I want to explore and discover more about you as we go along
Far into the night you and I don't look back and you'll find me
Even if we go on this journey for a long time, you'll always find me, and I won't look back
Let's go
Let's get on this journey together
Let's go
Let's set forth into the unknown together
Let's go
Let's take this cosmic journey and discover our true selves
