St Anthony
Unveiling Love's Wisdom: St Anthony by Jair Oliveira
Lyrics
Underneath an endless sky
Expresses the vastness and boundless nature of the world.
We can be anything we want to be
Highlights the potential for limitless possibilities and achievements.
Took a saint like you
Acknowledges the influence or guidance of a virtuous figure.
To find a lost girl like me
Suggests that with the help of someone morally upright, the speaker found herself.
Everyone's been hurt before
States the universal experience of enduring pain.
Some were born this way
Recognizes that some individuals are born facing challenges.
And some learn how
Implies that others learn from life's difficulties.
I know it ain't like you
Contrasts the saintly nature of someone with the speaker's expectations.
To let a girl like me down
Expresses disappointment in the saintly figure's failure to meet expectations.
Nobody has the answers
Asserts the absence of definite solutions or truths in life.
No one can tell you when your heart is ready to fly
States that nobody can dictate when one's emotions are ready for love.
And if you try everything breaks wide open
Suggests that trying leads to discoveries, but can also result in things falling apart.
Looks like everything that you were hoping for
Indicates that achieving one's desires may not always materialize as hoped.
Down the streets and down the news
References the difficulties faced globally, possibly in society or the media.
All of the cries call out for love
Highlights the universal need for love amidst all the cries and distress.
And anything and everything else will never be enough
Suggests that nothing else can adequately substitute for love.
(Will never be enough)
Reiteration emphasizing the insufficiency of anything else compared to love.
All these years of growing up
Reflects on the process of maturing and experiencing challenges.
And banging my head upon the roof
Metaphorically conveys the frustration or struggle of growing up.
It takes a long time and a lot of light
Implies that it takes time and understanding to be honest.
To learn to tell the truth
Learning to be truthful requires significant illumination or guidance.
Nobody has the answers (no, no, no)
Reiterates the absence of absolute solutions or truths in life.
No one can tell you when it's time to stay and be still
States that nobody can determine when it's right to remain still or act.
And if you will
Implies a conditional statement or suggestion about what might happen.
Love is the only way to know
Asserts that love is the ultimate method to understand or experience life.
Love is the only way to go
Emphasizes love as the only viable path forward in life.
Underneath an endless sky
Reiterates the idea of boundlessness and limitless potential.
We can be anything we want to be (yeah, we can be)
Reiterates the message of limitless potential and possibilities.
Took a saint like you
Acknowledges the role of a saint-like figure in freeing the speaker.
To set a girl free
Suggests that the saintly figure enabled the speaker to experience liberation.
