Sublime
Terranova Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rollin' up the snow steeves
Find these steeves as you ski down
See the secrets get opened like your heart crashed like
Egg yo chokes all around the mortis universe and you
Find yourself in the nebula curse
Finding you wish you had that dark matter you were rejecting
Ain't it ironic bonic flea cures everything
Hearts, head, head to leg
Find yourself back in your own patterns looking for the black hole
That kept you together
Fact is: beauty is sublime, sublime is in the beauty and the beauty's in the mind 4x
See how stars get brighter and brighter
Explode and get sucked in like supernovas of gold
Come out in patterns again, it's all matter and then
It's all keeping you together my friend
It's always gonna be about better situations coming around but
Through those inverted sequences like negatives you
See the better side of all inside that yourself
And that's the best where you can moonwalk backwards sucker
Yeah like you nap some fur like good head
Let the brain kid on that shit …? Jeri curl everywhere
That's like how fox go on lock
But you can always put 'em back together nap it up and keep it precative?
Straighten up and fly right
Armstrong you used to blow!
Fact is: beauty is sublime, sublime is in the beauty and the beauty's in the mind 4x
If I told you you paint like fresh air
Would you spread your legs gimme your derrière?
If I told you that your actions are factious
Could I fetch you and get real obscene with my own secrets?
Could I be the high art Eminem?
Could I be the one that gets that dirty girlfriend of yours
To come back down and we could do some pink cocaine in a wrong place at the right time?
OK!
Fact is: beauty is sublime, sublime is in the beauty and the beauty's in the mind 4x
Look at that! there goes Heather, look at that! 2x
Ah so pretty,ah so pretty so pretty, Oh hmm
Smells like springtime haha!
Smells like springtime
The lyrics of Terranova's song Sublime are esoteric and difficult to interpret. The song seems to start with someone instructing someone else to come harder or go harder, possibly a reference to perseverance, and mentioning two people's names - Heather and Janet Cardeff. This then leads to a reference to skiing and a metaphor for secrets being opened like a heart being crashed, which can be interpreted as being vulnerable and open with oneself. The lyrics then move on to allude to the mysteries of the universe, making references to supernovas and black holes, and the idea that rejecting certain things that are necessary for growth only leads to stagnation. The song concludes with a series of questions that revolve around seduction, art, and beauty being subjective.
The song was released in 2001 by the German electronic band Terranova, and features the vocals of Mike Ladd. It is part of their second album, 'Close the Door', which also features collaborations with Tricky and Martina Topley-Bird. The lyrics were written by Michael Holzgruber and Fetisch, who make up the core of Terranova.
