Open Your Heart
Yuki Kajiura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To eternal dimension
Open your heart
For love and affection
Open your heart
For every emotion
Open your heart
For tears and rejection
Come to the grace
Of heaven's eternal fantasy
Come to the grace
Of earthly devoted harmony
In Yuki Kajiura's song "Open your heart," the lyrics express the act of opening oneself up to a variety of emotions that come with being human. The repetition of the phrase "Open your heart" emphasizes the importance of vulnerability and emotional openness in experiencing a fulfilled life. "To eternal dimension" implies that these emotions are not constrained by time or limit, suggesting that one should be fully present in the moment and embrace their feelings, no matter how difficult or painful they may be. The line "For every emotion" reinforces the idea that all emotions are valuable and worth experiencing, despite varying degrees of discomfort.
The second verse shifts slightly to suggest that this emotional openness can lead us to a greater sense of spiritual connection. "Come to the grace of heaven's eternal fantasy" refers to the idea of accessing a higher power or ultimate truth through embracing our emotions. This is then contrasted with "earthly devoted harmony," which suggests a sense of belonging and connectedness to others on earth as well. Thus, the lyrics of "Open Your Heart" advocate for a balance between spiritual and emotional growth, affirming the importance of experiencing all facets of human emotion in order to deepen our understanding of ourselves and others.
