Kyrie eleison
"Kyrie eleison" - Repeated phrase asking for divine mercy.
Kyrie
"Kyrie" - Shortened form, continuing the plea for mercy.
The wind blows hard against this mountain side
Reference to facing challenges or adversity symbolized by the wind against a mountain.
Across the sea into my soul
The impact of life experiences on the speaker's inner self.
It reaches into where I cannot hide
Acknowledgment of being vulnerable, unable to conceal certain emotions or truths.
Setting my feet upon the road
Embracing a journey, facing challenges head-on.
My heart is old, it holds my memories
Personal history and experiences are held within the heart.
My body burns a gemlike flame
An intense passion or desire burning within the body.
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
Existence between the spiritual and physical realms, seeking self-discovery.
Is where I find myself again
Rediscovery of oneself within this complex existence.
Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel
Repeated plea for mercy ("Kyrie eleison") while navigating life's path, seeking guidance and illumination.
Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night
-Kyrie eleison, where I'm going, will you follow?
-Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light
-When I was young I thought of growing old
Reflections on youth and contemplating the meaning of aging.
Of what my life would mean to me
Wondering about the significance and purpose of life as one ages.
Would I have followed down my chosen road
Contemplating choices made in life versus potential ones, expressing a sense of regret or unfulfilled aspirations.
Or only wished what I could be
-Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel
Repeated plea for mercy ("Kyrie eleison") indicating uncertainty about the path taken and seeking assurance for the journey ahead.
Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night
-Kyrie eleison, where I'm going, will you follow?
-Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light
-Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel
-Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night
-Kyrie eleison, where I'm going, will you follow?
-Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light
-Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel
Continued repetition signifies the persisting uncertainty and seeking guidance along life's journey.
Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night
-Kyrie eleison, where I'm going, will you follow?
-Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light
-Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel
-Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night
-Kyrie eleison, where I'm going, will you follow?
-Kyrie eleison, on a highway in the light
-Kyrie eleison, down the road that I must travel
Final repetition of the plea, questioning if others will join or support on this path of uncertainty.
Kyrie eleison, through the darkness of the night
-Kyrie eleison, where I'm going, will you follow?
