Vas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my heart is looking for that path
My heart is clear and pure like water
And pure water is a perfect mirror for moonlight
In Vas's song "Veiled," the lyrics suggest a connection between the singer's soul and the listener's, with the singer seeking a path to unite the two. The "veil" may be a metaphor for the obstacles that get in the way of this connection, but the clear and pure heart of the singer reflects like a mirror the light of the moon, which could represent a spiritual force or higher power. The use of water and moon imagery also suggests a theme of reflection, as if the singer is searching deep within themselves and in the connection with others to find meaning and purpose.
The lyrics evoke a sense of mystery and spirituality, inviting the listener to contemplate the nature of the soul and the possibility of finding unity with others. The repetition of the line "my heart is looking for that path" emphasizes the singer's desire for connection and suggests that it may require effort and perhaps even sacrifice to find.
Overall, the lyrics to "Veiled" are open to interpretation and offer a poetic exploration of themes related to the human soul, spirituality, and the search for connection.

O my soul, there is a link between your heart and mine
Oh my inner self, there's a connection between your heart and mine
And my heart is looking for that path
And my heart seeks that pathway
My heart is clear and pure like water
My heart is transparent and uncontaminated like crystal clear water
And pure water is a perfect mirror for moonlight
As clear water is a perfect reflector of moonlight
