Celestial Horses
Embracing Light in the Shadows
Lyrics
Here comes those silver celestial horses
Anticipation of something ethereal or divine represented by "celestial horses."
Rays of the moon in the mountain air
The moon's rays permeating the mountain air, creating a serene atmosphere.
I'm steeped in the steam of the last wild hot spring
Immersed in the vapors of the last untamed hot spring, suggesting a connection to nature.
Maybe I'm melting but I don't care
Indifference to personal challenges, possibly symbolized by melting, indicating a carefree attitude.
There's darkness in the canyon
An acknowledgment of darkness or difficulties in life.
But the light comes pounding through
Despite challenges, there is a powerful and illuminating force breaking through.
For me and for you
The illuminating force is for both the speaker ("me") and others ("you").
Tomorrow may be a hissing blowtorch
Expressing uncertainty about the future, possibly with intense challenges ("hissing blowtorch").
Maybe a silken sky shaken by the wind
Contrasting possibilities of a turbulent sky and a gentle breeze ("silken sky shaken by the wind").
The world's in the wake of those whispering horses
Recognition of the world being influenced by mysterious and subtle forces.
But there's always a pillar of cloud on the valley's rim
A symbol of hope ("pillar of cloud") even in the face of challenges ("valley's rim").
There's darkness in the canyon
Reiteration of darkness in life, but optimism persists.
But the light comes pounding through
Continued resilience and the emergence of light despite hardships.
For me and for you
The illuminating force is for both the speaker and others, emphasizing unity.
Still river full of the depths of the candles
A tranquil river filled with the depth of experiences, possibly representing life's journey.
Burning for the free ones riding on the other shore
Candles burning for those who are free, suggesting a tribute or remembrance for liberated spirits.
Even at the heart of these breathing shadows
In the midst of challenges ("breathing shadows"), a sense of unity and gathering prevails.
You can feel us gathering at the door
An invitation or sense of arrival at a metaphorical door of unity and understanding.
There's darkness in the canyon
Acknowledgment of ongoing challenges, yet hope persists.
But the light comes pounding through
The prevailing light breaking through difficulties for both the speaker and others.
For me and for you
The illuminating force is for both the speaker and others, reinforcing unity.
For me and for you
A final affirmation of the illuminating force being for both the speaker and others.
