Valensia Lyrics

I guess we all believe and pray in a different way
I know He has many names
I'm sure that - all in all - it stays the same
.. All comes out one day
We're all afraid that day might not be so far away
If we want to live here and stay
Better not let Gaia wash us away
She's got rules we must obey

A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha the world has always judged itself
When it comes to crimes - I know
A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha who's going to judge the Earth
When a crime has been done by the world...
All by the world itselves, yeah...
I know you still dream of harmony
..And I guess I'll just dream on with you
We're nothing but a lonely crowd
Gaia, Gaia... Where do we go
Why do you go, and leave me alone
Gaia, Gaia... I want you to know
I couldn't save you all on my own
Gaia...(Gaia)
Bury us all under ice
World, calm down...take five, 'cause you lost the
Meaning of life
So many ways to survive
Millions of chances more than meets the eye
..Life could be so nice (Hear the bird of Greenpeace sing)
We're so far we even can't wage a war no more
Even the moon would be gone
Who would be left over to say "We won"
.. Back to where it all begun
A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha the world has always judged itself
When it comes to crimes - I know
A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha who's going to judge the Earth

I couldn't save you all on my own
Gaia...(Gaia)
Bury us all under ice
Bomb + Dumb = Going To Die (aah)
All living on a Lie (aah)
..The rub-a-dub into the night (aah)
Who's going to live, who's going to die (aah)
Solo
I know you still dream of harmony
..And I guess I'll just dream on with you
We're nothing but a lonely crowd

Gaia... (Gaia)
Bury us all under ice
Our youth has a few words to say
Maybe they know we wiped their future away
Could be they've got nothing to say
Maybe they don't know whether they are going to stay, or not
I know they've got ONE thing to say
And we all want a better place, but Gaia let it go, let it go
/And we all want a better place, but Gaia let it go, let it go
/Whatever we do, chances are few: every way leads to heaven
/And we all want a better place, but Gaia let it go, let it go
/Whatever we do, chances are few: every way leads to heaven
/And we all want a better place, but Gaia let it go
/Whatever we do, chances are few
WE NEED A HAND FROM ABOVE
Oh, oh, Gaia...
Oh, oh, Gaia...What we're living for




She is going to die
Unless...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Valensia's song "Gaia" touch on themes of spirituality, environmentalism, and the future of humanity. The song opens with a recognition that people have different beliefs and ways of praying, but ultimately there is one truth that will come to light. The singer expresses a fear that this truth will reveal that humanity has ignored the rules set by the earth, personified as Gaia. The line "She's got rules we must obey" suggests a reverence for the natural world and a belief that humans must live in harmony with it to survive.


The second verse of the song takes a more fatalistic turn as the singer questions who will hold humanity accountable for its actions. The repeated line "all by the world itself" suggests a belief that humans are ultimately responsible for the state of the earth and its future. The chorus features a plea to Gaia to spare humanity from destruction, but the singer acknowledges they cannot save humanity alone. The third verse takes a more blunt and urgent tone, discussing the ways in which humans have endangered the planet and future generations. The repeated line "and we all want a better place, but Gaia let it go" suggests a sense of resignation, that humanity has failed to take responsibility and make the changes needed to ensure the planet's survival.


Overall, "Gaia" is a song that implores humanity to take responsibility for their actions and honor the power of the natural world. It blends themes of spirituality and environmentalism, expressing a belief that living in harmony with the earth is essential for our survival.

若い頃、どこかで聞いたこの曲が耳から離れず執念の末レンタル屋さんで見つけた歌。同年代の子も先輩も後輩も誰も知らなかった歌。カラオケで歌ったらドン引きされたけど、やっぱり今でも好きです。こんな神秘的でミステリアス、アーティスティックでカオスな世界を歌にする人、40年生きてきて自分の知る世界ではNo. 1の曲

アネモネ

この曲はたしかNOW2 に入ってて
高校生時よく聞いてました😊
たしかにこれをカラオケで歌うとなると
ドン引きされるリスクは高い

神楽蓮

この曲、自分の周りでは空耳で知った人が結構居るからカラオケ行くとラストで大合唱が起こる(笑)

ed espino

Maravilloso

kouichi yoshimi

そう、これカラオケで歌うと画面に「+」みたいなわけのわからない歌詞表示が出てきました。自分以外にカラオケで歌う人がいるとは......会いたかったです。

silver line

父が流していたラジオで1度だけ聴いて、耳から離れず…
十数年後「あの曲また聴きたいな…けど探しようがないな…」とSNSにふと書き込んだところ「鼻歌でも検索で音楽探せるよ!」と教えていただき、またこの曲に再会できました。レンタル屋さんで見つけられるの本当に凄いです…!!
カラオケにも入ってるんですね??!(DAMかJOYSOUNDかな…?)

Absolutely brilliant song. A little strange, but the creativity just oozes from it. I'd even go as far as to call it a masterpiece of Dutch music.

厚盛宗厚

定期的に聴きたくなる曲😌

I just recently came across this song. Its like a brilliant mix of Queen, Michael Jackson and Guns & Roses. Truly a masterpiece!

Gergely Paradi composer

I was a 20-year-old rock guitarist when I first saw this clip on MTV. I was mesmerized. Now I am a 50- year-old film and media composer... and this song is still mesmerizing !!
