Ascension
Awakening Earth: Embrace Your Wild Heart with Cloud Cult's 'Ascension'
Lyrics
For a moment you could feel, like you never felt before
Experiencing a unique and intense moment, unlike any felt before.
In your mind you set fire to all the billboards
Imagining a mental transformation, rejecting societal influences.
Til the cars disappear and it's just you on a horse
Fantasizing about a solitary escape on a horse, away from modern life.
And something inside you says you're finally ready, Baby
A feeling of readiness emerging, a significant personal moment.
The panic in your chest
The anxiety in the chest symbolizes a call from the untamed aspects of life.
Is the call of the wild
The wild nature calling, urging a connection with primal instincts.
It's the song from oblivion
Reference to a song representing forgetfulness or abandonment of past denials.
It's the end of denial
The acknowledgment that denial is coming to an end.
Now you're calling your doctor
Seeking professional help due to emotional distress.
Cuz you're crying like a child
Expressing vulnerability and emotional pain similar to a child.
But something inside you says you're finally ready
An internal conviction that readiness for change is present.
The moment you realize you're made out of earth
Realizing a deep connection to the earth, a spiritual awakening.
Is the moment you feel your heart start to give birth
The moment one's heart undergoes a transformative experience.
Now you're saying "I love you, and where does it hurt?"
Expressing love and concern for others, showing empathy.
And something inside you says you're finally ready, Baby
A reaffirmation that one is ready for change and growth.
It's the pissed-off rantings when there shouldn't have been a word
Angry expressions when silence would have been more appropriate.
All your broken pieces are a buffalo herd
Acknowledging and embracing one's broken aspects as a collective force.
The moment you surrender you turn into a birds
The surrendering moment leading to a transformation into freedom.
And then something inside you says you're finally ready
Internal confirmation of being prepared for change.
You gotta set down the baggage you picked up as a kid
Releasing the burdens carried since childhood for personal growth.
You know you're only good as the sins you forgive
Realizing one's worth based on the ability to forgive past mistakes.
Gotta give yourself grace for the way that you lived
Granting oneself compassion for the way life has been lived.
And something inside you says you're finally ready, Baby
Internal confirmation of readiness, echoing a personal evolution.
This is the call of the wild
Reiteration of the wild's call, emphasizing a return to primal instincts.
This is the Song from Oblivion
Referring to the transformative song from oblivion.
You can just make out the words as the spirits are singing them:
A spiritual message encouraging positive action to make things right.
"Children, we love you, now go make this right again"
Quoting the spirits' words, conveying love and guidance.
It's the smell of the campfire, the beat of the drummer
Evoking sensory experiences of a campfire and rhythmic drumming.
You look in the mirror, and see your great grandmother
Seeing ancestral connections, perhaps through self-reflection.
All of the ancestors under the streets
Recognition of the presence and influence of past generations.
Lift up their song singing "You're finally ready, Baby"
Collective voices singing, affirming readiness for positive change.
