- Diva
T.O Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let them carry me away
To any place that they have chosen for me
One day I become the stream
The stream that flows to the ocean
The moment of peace
Right before drowning
The final release when I'm becoming one with the sea
Whatever you do, you won't be saved
Whatever you hope,. its an illusion
Cause happiness can't be held in place
There are no one-time-solve-all solutions
There is no end
As far as I see
There is no future
There's only now
Just you and me... one with the ocean
I have been searching all around the globe
For a secret gate out of this world
Only to find there's no such place
The only peace I find is in constant change
I have been searching all around the globe
For a secret gate
Out of this world




Out of the cold
Only to find there's no such gate

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of T.O's song, "Diva," seem to be talking about the notion of acceptance and surrender. The opening lines, "Let them carry me away to any place that they have chosen for me. One day I become the stream, the stream that flows to the ocean," suggest that the singer is willing to be carried away to any place that fate or others may choose for them. The mention of becoming a stream that flows into the ocean also symbolizes the acceptance of being swept along in the grander scheme of things, with the ocean representing divine unity or a greater collective.


The lines "The moment of peace, right before drowning. The final release when I'm becoming one with the sea," further reinforce this idea of surrendering to something greater than oneself. The moment of peace before drowning perhaps suggests that there can be peace found even in the face of certain death. The final release when becoming one with the sea implies that there is a release and liberation that comes with surrendering completely to a higher power or a greater cause.


The lines "Whatever you do, you won't be saved. Whatever you hope, it's an illusion. Cause happiness can't be held in place. There are no one-time-solve-all solutions" are a commentary on perhaps the futility of seeking salvation or happiness in external sources. The idea that such things cannot be held in place suggests that happiness is not a static destination but rather a dynamic flow that ebbs and flows with the tides of life. The notion that there are no one-time-solve-all solutions could be a statement on the complexity of life and the problems that we face, and perhaps the importance of embracing the journey itself rather than concentrating on some elusive goal.


Overall, T.O's "Diva" seems to be a poetic portrayal of the idea of surrender, acceptance, and liberation. The song speaks to the importance of letting go and allowing oneself to be swept away in the greater current of life, and perhaps finding peace and happiness in the journey itself.

I heard in 1994 a techno single like this with bells ringing but this was not t.o. Diva but another track but impossible to find it ! I think it was a rare track ! I remembered that we can heard a man said : let the bells kick ! If you like same kind of old techno,listen to bell bar : what do you think ? And quench dreams
