The Hip Abduction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Send your love right out to sea. And ride that wave on back to me
We are children of the sun. We come alive when we feel the heat
We are riding number one. We come alive when we feel the beat
Lover, lover, lover be Come on, come on, set me free.
With another, another, another beat. Come on, come on, cover me
Rise up in that morning light And float away in clouds of white
We'll find a way in warm sunshine To get us lost inside our mind
We come alive when we feel the heat
We are riding number one. We come alive when we feel the beat
Lover, lover, lover be Come on, come on, set me free.
With another, another, another beat. Come on, come on, cover me
Lord set me free
Liberdade pra dentro da cabeca Na verdade, meu cumpadi,
Nada mais me interessa Viajei pela guerra e pela calma E a melhor
Coisa no mundo e' sentir a paz na alma Neste mundo velho, grande,
Enganador Na riqueza tem tristeza Na pobreza tem amor No
Conforto, sofrimento No trabalho,
Alegria Salve simpatia e tambem sabedoria
Lover, lover, lover be Come on, come on,
Set me free With another another
Another beat Come on, come on, cover me
Lover, lover, lover be Come on, come on,
Set me free With another another
Another beat Come on, come on, cover me
Lord set me free
The lyrics to The Hip Abduction's song, "Children of the Sun," describe the liberating and exhilarating feeling of being connected to nature and the universe. The song begins with a call to be taken to a higher level, where the water flows and the fire burns at midnight. The singer wants his love to be sent out to sea so that it can come back to him on a wave. The chorus of the song expresses how they feel alive and free when they feel the heat and beat of the sun.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses his desire to escape the world's problems and find peace by immersing himself in nature. He believes that they are children of the sun, and the sun is their source of inspiration and freedom. They want to rise up in the morning light and float away in the clouds of white to get lost inside their own minds. The singer believes that freedom is essential to happiness and that it can be achieved through love, music, and embracing the natural world.
The interlude of the song is sung in Portuguese, and it talks about the importance of peace and love. It acknowledges the good and the bad in the world, and it tells the listener that the best thing is to find peace in their soul.

Freedom exists in the mind, and nothing else matters. I've journeyed through war and calm and have come to realize that feeling peace in your soul is the best thing in the world. In this old, big, deceitful world, wealth brings sadness, poverty brings love, comfort brings suffering, and work brings joy. Let us cherish compassion and wisdom
Lord set me free

Liberdade pra dentro da cabeca
Na verdade, meu cumpadi, nada mais me interessa
Viajei pela guerra e pela calma
E a melhor coisa no mundo e' sentir a paz na alma
Neste mundo velho, grande, enganador
Na riqueza tem tristeza
Na pobreza tem amor
No conforto, sofrimento
No trabalho, alegria
Salve simpatia e tambem sabedoria ❤
