Röyksopp What Else Is There Meaning. A song and video that evoke so much. Little hints and the beauty of evolution.
Röyksopp What Else Is There Meaning.
It was me on that road But you couldn’t see me Too many lights out, but nowhere near here
It was me on that road Still you couldn’t see me And then flashlights and explosions
Roads are getting nearer We cover distance but not together I am the storm and I am the wonder And the flashlights, nightmares And sudden explosions
I don’t know what more to ask for I was given just one wish
It’s about you and the sun A morning run The story of my maker What I have and what I ache for
I’ve got a golden ear I cut and I spear And what else is there
Roads are getting nearer We cover distance still not together If I am the storm if I am the wonder Will I have flashlights, nightmares And sudden explosions
I don’t know what more to ask for I was given just one wish
Roads are getting nearer We cover distance but not together I am the storm if I am the wonder And the flashlights, nightmares And sudden explosions
There’s no room where I can go and You’ve got secrets too
I don’t know what more to ask for I was given just one wish (lyrics)
Röyksopp What Else Is There Meaning. The night has been our protector yet we fear it.
Seems like the being that is floating is searching for
her past self. She is stuck in darkness, fear and isolation.
She though life was about accumulating all the “goods” (look at table)
So she has a huge table full of food which encompass her lack of love
The foods rot reflecting her misery and inability to let go.
She eats the apple showings us the clenching jaws of greed.
Her semblance is tensed from fear and resentment.
The being holds her head. Our minds can be our worst enemy.
She understands! She has been there before and she feels compassion for her.
This songs makes me contemplate the universe. I mean of course! Its called what else is there, with a question mark. (?) I cant help but think about enlightenment and the fear/thrill dynamic it entails. Are you ready to let go? Its been said the truth is right beneath our nose but it would take lifetimes for us to finally wake up. Waking up is not easy. To understand that we’ve been asleep for so long is a scary thing.
If I am the storm if I am the wonder Will I have flashlights, nightmares
And sudden explosions.
Waking up could feel like the most exhilarating and uncharted endeavor ever. And you have to be ready to leave everything behind. Are you ready to leave all? Family? Friends? The familiar? Your mind? The path is lonesome. As buddha said one has to be a light unto themselves.
Enlightenment is the moment you let the whole-universe take possession of your being. So imagine infinity taking hold of your physically finite self, it has to be the scariest thing ever. For me that’s what this song is about. You are the ocean. The sky… The wonder. Other Aliens
I don’t know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish.
The gift of live, in it change, for it eternity.
The possibility to recognize the god within yourself.
Be careful what you wish for. You, your own genie.
