Jerusalem
Unveiling Love's Spiritual Journey in "Jerusalem" by Alphaville
Lyrics
Waiting on this empty street
Anticipation or waiting in an empty or desolate place
Watching rivers' waves go by
Observing the passage of time or life events
Feeling mellow, lighting a cigarette
A calm or relaxed state while lighting a cigarette
Silver moon floats through the night
Describing the serene and ethereal quality of the night
Eris, princess of the isles
Referring to Eris, a goddess associated with chaos or discord
Disperse your sparkling trace
Requesting Eris to spread her unique and beautiful presence
Lead it on to the house of love
Guiding this presence towards a place of love
Where the gods may turn his eyes
Suggesting that even gods would acknowledge or appreciate love
To Jerusalem we pray
Expressing a desire to pray in Jerusalem
It's time to meet you there
A readiness or eagerness to meet someone there
Let's take love to Jerusalem, oh yeah
Advocating for bringing love to Jerusalem
Let me know, love
Requesting information or assurance about love
In Jerusalem, let me know
Reiterating the desire for knowledge or confirmation about love in Jerusalem
You might be the one I'm waiting for
Suggesting a potential soulmate or significant other
I think we've met somewhere for sure
A feeling of familiarity or having met the person before
Chasing shadows leaves you feeling blue
The pursuit of things that lead to sadness or dissatisfaction
This situation needs a cure
Implies the need for a resolution or remedy to the current situation
New assassins, new messiahs
Mentioning new figures representing chaos and order
Keepers of a balanced law
Guardians of a balanced and fair system or rules
Strangest lovers of the fire
Describing unconventional yet passionate relationships
Which ignites the halo of our souls
The intense and spiritual connection between individuals
Oh, in Jerusalem we pray
Reiteration of the desire to pray in Jerusalem
It's time to meet you there
Preparedness or willingness to meet someone in that place
Let's take love to Jerusalem, oh, yeah
Advocating again for bringing love to Jerusalem
Let's take love
An emphasis on taking love to the mentioned destination
To Jerusalem we pray
Repetition of the desire to pray in Jerusalem
It's time to meet you there
Ready or eager to meet someone there
Let's take love to Jerusalem, oh, yeah
Stressing the importance of bringing love to Jerusalem
Oh Jerusalem
A direct mention of Jerusalem
Big yellow cadillac
Depicting a luxurious and vibrant image of travel
Carry me back home (carry me back home)
Asking for a return or journey home in grandeur
On glory roads of pure delight
Envisioning a joyful and splendid journey
We head out for the stars
Embarking on a journey towards aspirations or dreams
To Jerusalem we pray
Reiteration of the desire to pray in Jerusalem
It's time to meet you there
Readiness or eagerness to meet someone there
Let's take love to Jerusalem, oh yeah
Re-emphasizing the idea of bringing love to Jerusalem
Rein our love
Commanding or guiding the direction of love
