Twarres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're coming from places we once left behind
We're looking for love, in the heart of every man
We're looking for reasons we'll all understand
We are in need, we want a place for everyone
We shine through love, we are the children of the sun
We follow our hopes and we'll never give up
Until we have found the warmth of the sun
Until we are one
We are in need, we want a place for everyone
We shine through love
We are forever on the run
We are in need, we want a place for everyone
We shine through love, we are the children of the sun
We're coming from far, over oceans of time
We're coming from places we once left behind
We're looking for love, in the heart of every man
We're looking for reasons we'll all understand
We follow our dreams and we'll never stop
We follow our hopes and we'll never give up
Until we have found the warmth of the sun
Until we are one, the children of the sun
We shine
Through love
The lyrics of Twarres's song "Children" talk about life's journey and the search for love and a place for everyone. They remind the listeners that we are all connected, coming from different places and times, and with different hopes and dreams. The song seeks to encourage us to keep searching for what we want and never lose hope until we find a place where we belong.
The first two lines of the song "We're coming from far, over oceans of time, we're coming from places we once left behind" could mean that we are all connected and related in some way, as we all come from various places and times. It could also mean that we all have a journey in life that we follow, and sometimes we return to places we left behind.
The lyrics "We're looking for love, in the heart of every man, we're looking for reasons we'll all understand" suggest that the ultimate search is for love and understanding. Humans naturally desire affection and connection with others. The song encourages us to find these things in every person we meet.

@Remy Vermunt Absoluut. Misschien omdat ik ouder ben geworden, maar ja, het voelde toen zeker authentieker.
