Lyrics
As my head turns in with the tide
Reflecting on inner thoughts as they align with the natural flow of life.
I can't speak to it
Expressing inability to articulate or comprehend the experience.
In the air the Beltane-tide
Noticing the influence of Beltane, a Celtic festival, in the atmosphere.
Reveals the druid
Perceiving a mystical presence associated with druidic traditions.
But then that would be a lie
Acknowledging a potential falsehood or deception in the narrative.
Don't feel the spirit
Being disconnected from a spiritual or emotional experience.
Folk-lore of uncertain times
Referring to folklore in times of uncertainty as a lens for understanding.
Is how I see it
Interpreting ambiguous situations through the lens of folklore.
In it's refrain

It stays the same
Highlighting the persistence of a particular aspect despite changes.
Magus arcane
Referencing a mystical figure with esoteric knowledge.
I cannot see any signs
Expressing a lack of ability to discern meaningful signs or symbols.
No meaning to them
Denying significance or purpose in observed signs.
No visions had to divine
Rejecting the possibility of receiving divine insights or revelations.
Nothing to intuit
Stating that the knowledge possessed is mundane and lacking depth.
All I know is so anodyne
Experiencing a state of confusion associated with Gnosticism.

O' Saint Teresa
Invoking Saint Teresa, a mystic, possibly exploring her experiences.
Her face cast in stone
Describing Saint Teresa's visage as unyielding, possibly in meditation.
Was it really pain or ecstasy
Pondering whether Saint Teresa's experience was characterized by pain or ecstasy.
That brought her close to the lord?
Questioning the nature of Saint Teresa's proximity to the divine.
Set my mind adrift for a while
Allowing the mind to wander, seeking deeper understanding.
My only conclusion
Summarizing a conclusion reached after contemplation.
That which binds us most to this world
Contemplating the idea that our attachments to the world can liberate us.
Will set us from it
Reflecting on the transformative power of detachment from worldly concerns.
