Palestine
Journey to the Heart: Fox Paloma's Poetic Exploration of Palestine
Lyrics
On the road to Palestine
Reference to traveling towards Palestine.
I ran into a friend of mine
Encounter with an acquaintance.
She told me that the stars were out of place
Perception of disorder or imbalance in the world.
Though I wandered through the sands
Wandering through remnants of other territories.
The last remains of foreign lands
Traces of past civilizations or cultures.
My footsteps did not seem to leave a trace
A lack of personal impact or influence.
From the mist of the morning
Beginning of a new day with hope.
Comes the warmth of the sun
Nurturing warmth from the morning.
But like tears on the morning
Simile suggesting fleetingness or vulnerability.
You run
Action of fleeing or escaping.
The sabre of the steadfast moon
Symbolic reference to a powerful force.
Had cut it's place into the blue
Impact on the sky's canvas by the force.
The evening slowly showed it's mournful face
Transition from day to night, expressing sadness.
Now I've come to talk again
Initiation of a conversation about the past.
With those who knew the days back then
Engagement with those familiar with history.
Despite the years it has not changed a day
Stagnation or lack of change despite time passing.
From the mist of the morning
Hopeful beginning of a new day.
Comes the warmth of the sun
Comforting warmth from the morning.
But like tears on the morning
Comparison implying vulnerability or transience.
You run
Action of escaping or avoiding.
Oh! You don't know
Uncertainty in distinguishing between friend and foe.
If it's friend or foe you're searching for
Continued uncertainty about identifying allies or adversaries.
Oh! You don't know
Repeated uncertainty regarding identifying friends or foes.
If it's friend or foe you're searching for
Continued dilemma in discerning allies or adversaries.
