On Land
Navigating Other Realms: Melodi Ghazal's On Land Explained
Lyrics
Think of you with something in my hand
Reflecting on thoughts while holding something
I’m in my towel, it’s my birthday
Being in a vulnerable state on one's birthday
At the party noone understands
Feeling misunderstood at a party
What is the matter with me on land?
Questioning personal struggles on land
What is the matter with me, yeah
Expressing confusion or dissatisfaction
Found this locket, my name is on it
Discovering a locket with one's name on it
Oh, the glory of another world
Experiencing the splendor of an alternate world
Mother have been reprimanding
Mother figure expressing disapproval
I’ve been swimming in another world
Engaging in a different reality through swimming
On hold for a while, practiced being, walking through
Pausing life to practice and reflect
Took it from the top of the indoor wall of rocks that I climb
Obtaining an object from a climbing wall
Falling softly into water
Falling gently into water
Into the sea, me in this energy,
Immersing oneself in the sea and its energy
Truly I’ve been dreaming of, asking questions on repeat
Dreaming and questioning existence
How to be a person, am I next in line to know, this body’s swimming out the door
Contemplating the essence of being human
With all the hours spent, gone
Reflecting on time spent, which has passed
With all the hours spent, gone
Emphasizing the passage of time
Dreaming of with something in my hand
Dreaming again while holding something
I’m in my towel, it’s my birthday
Being vulnerable on one's birthday, again
Downstairs laughter, wanna cancel plans
Contemplating canceling plans amidst laughter
What is the matter with me here?
Questioning personal struggles in the current context
What is the matter with me, yeah
Expressing ongoing confusion or dissatisfaction
Found this locket, my name is on it
Rediscovering the locket with one's name
Oh, the glory of another world
Experiencing the glory of another world, reiterated
Mother have been reprimanding
Receiving disapproval from the mother figure again
I’ve been swimming in another world
Continuing to explore another world through swimming
Ye-zare montazer, montazer moondam
Persian phrase: "I am waiting, I have been waiting"
Ye moghei az aval shooroo kardam
Persian phrase: "I started a moment from the beginning"
Raftam too aab ye-zare shena kardam
Persian phrase: "I went into the water, I shone"
Az aval shooroo kardam
Persian phrase: "I started from the beginning"
Into the sea, me in this energy,
Reiteration of immersing into the sea and its energy
Truly I’ve been dreaming of, asking questions on repeat
Continuing to dream and ask questions
How to be a person, am I next in line to know, this body’s swimming out the door
Reflecting on the quest to understand oneself
With all the hours spent, gone
Emphasizing the irreversibility of time spent
