Universal
The Seihos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had a vision
Late last night
Blew off my mind
Like dynamite
Guided me through shadows
And waterfalls
Left me here naked
In the heart of the jungle

To hear it's call

I can see through the eyes
Of ancient times
Travel the world
With my second soul
I can swim over fire
And walk overseas
Sing with the birds
In harmony

Now I got wings
And swing with the king
I can hear the universal spring
It's a crystal clear melody
If you listen close
I'll take you here

I can see through the eyes
Of your mind
If I reach you too
It will do you right
If you let me in
I will stay all night
If you stay with me
‘till the morning light

Now I got wings
And swing with the king
I can hear the universal spring
It's a crystal clear melody

If you listen close
I'll take you here

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Seihos's song "Universal" revolve around a mystical and transcendental experience that the singer had in a vision. It begins with the singer describing how the vision blew their mind, and took them through shadows and waterfalls until they were left "naked in the heart of the jungle." This is a metaphor for being stripped down to one's essence, their soul, and left to the mercy of the world. It is in this place that the singer hears the call of the jungle, a call to reconnect with nature and the universe.

The second stanza of the song reveals that through this vision, the singer has gained a unique perspective and ability to travel through time and space with their "second soul." They can swim over fire and walk overseas, bridging the gap between the physical and spiritual realms. They have the power to sing with the birds in perfect harmony, united with all living things.

The last part of the song is a call to the listener to join the singer in this mystical experience. They ask their listeners to open their minds and let the singer in, promising that if they stay with them until the morning light, they too will be able to hear the crystal clear melody of the universal spring. The song is an invitation to reconnect with nature and the universe, to remember our innate connection to all living things and to revel in the beauty of existence.

I had a vision
I experienced a moment of enlightenment

Late last night
It happened during the night

Blew off my mind
It completely surprised me

Like dynamite
It was powerful and explosive

Guided me through shadows
It led me through darkness

And waterfalls
As well as beauty and wonder

Left me here naked
It left me vulnerable

In the heart of the jungle
In the depths of my being

To hear it's call
To listen to its message

I can see through the eyes
I can perceive things beyond the physical realm

Of ancient times
From the past, through memory or intuition
