Wishes
Two Places At Once Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The more you see god in you
Unless you know your soul
Or maybe thats really you
Your king, your law, your peace and even your war
You heard my voice
And you said nothing
Just because of wishes
Just cuz' of your wishes
Dirt beneath the dirt
While dollar signs become snow balls
While you see pros
Diamonds under your pillow
Will you catch our lives
Or a softly bed?
Your king, your law, your peace and even your war
You heard my voice
And you said nothing
This is all in flames
Just because of wishes
Just cuz' of your wishes
Just because of wishes
The song "Wishes" by Two Places At Once is a deep and thought-provoking composition that highlights the importance of self-awareness and the impact of our desires on our lives. The opening line of the song, "The more you feel the power, the more you see god in you," suggests that we become more aware of our capacity and potential as we gain more personal power. The following line, "Unless you know your soul, or maybe that's really you," prompts us to question whether we truly understand our inner selves or whether we are simply living out the desires that we've inherited or adopted from others.
The next verse of the song introduces the ideas of personal responsibility and accountability. The lines "Your king, your law, your peace, and even your war, you heard my voice and you said nothing," suggest that we all have a responsibility to take ownership for the power we possess and to speak out against injustice and harm when we see it happening. The chorus, "This is all in flames, just because of wishes, just 'cuz of your wishes," warns us of the potential danger in chasing after our desires mindlessly, without considering their true cost or impact on our lives and the world around us.
The final verse of the song contrasts the fragility and value of life with the dangers of materialism and consumerism. The lines "Dirt beneath the dirt, while dollar signs become snowballs, while you see pros, diamonds under your pillow, will you catch our lives, or a softly bed?" suggest that while our desire for material possessions may seem important, in the end, they will mean little if we have not truly lived and connected with ourselves and others.
Overall, "Wishes" is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-awareness, personal responsibility, and mindful desire in our lives.

The more you feel the power
As you gain influence and control over your own life and surroundings
The more you see god in you
You begin to recognize your own potential and the divine strength within yourself
Unless you know your soul
Without truly understanding your innermost self
Or maybe thats really you
Perhaps that is who you truly are, without pretense or societal expectations
Your king, your law, your peace and even your war
All the things that govern and influence your life
You heard my voice
I have spoken to you, expressed my thoughts and feelings
And you said nothing
But you have chosen not to respond or acknowledge what I've said
This is all in flames
The situation has become chaotic and disastrous
Just because of wishes
All because of desires and hopes, which can be both powerful and destructive
Dirt beneath the dirt
Even deeper than the surface level of our lives
While dollar signs become snow balls
As wealth and prosperity accumulate and grow out of control
While you see pros
Focusing only on the positive or beneficial aspects of a situation
Diamonds under your pillow
Expecting something valuable and precious without necessarily understanding its true worth
Will you catch our lives
Can you truly understand and appreciate the significance of our existence?
Or a softly bed?
Or will you simply prioritize comfort and ease over the complexities of life?
Just cuz' of your wishes
All because of the things we desire and strive for.

Conheci a banda recentemente, e estou viciado em suas músicas. Parabéns!
PS: Essa música parece a história do Mad King do Game of Thrones.
PS2: Em "Or maybe thats really you", acredito que seja necessário um apóstrofe - that's.
