Holyland
Finding Home Beyond Holy Lands: theAngelcy's Powerful Reflections
Lyrics
I don't need no holy land
I don't require a sacred or special place
I just need a home
I simply need a place to call home
I just need a home
Reiteration of the need for a home
The crowd, they cheer
The audience expresses approval and support
Our prayers, they brought us here
Our prayers have led us to this point
My family calls for me
Family beckons for assistance
Come help us with this heavy load
A call for help with a burdensome responsibility
Well, no more shall I count
No longer will I keep track
The stars of my buzzing mind
Abandoning the counting of thoughts or worries
Up on my bedroom wall
A reference to stars on the bedroom wall, possibly symbolizing dreams
So, we went ahead
A decision to proceed
And we built up a fence
The construction of a barrier, possibly metaphorical
Destroyed our souls in self defense
Sacrificing one's essence for protection
They walk our earth
Others inhabit our world
Shadowed faces to the ground
People with hidden or suppressed identities
We are mighty mountains
We are powerful and imposing, overshadowing others
We eclipse their sun
We obscure their source of light
Oh Pharoh oh Pharoh
An appeal to a figure of authority or power (Pharaoh)
It's time to stop the show
Request to end a performance or charade
Oh Pharoh my Pharoh
Repetition of the plea to Pharaoh
Let their people go
Asking for the liberation of a group of people
We don't need no more holy lands
Rejecting the need for additional sacred places
No more holy lands
Reiteration of the rejection of more sacred lands
If the people are the land
Suggesting that people constitute the land
I'd rather be a river
Expressing a preference to be a dynamic and flowing entity (river)
And make my way out
The desire to navigate through life, symbolized by flowers and mud
In the flowers and the mud
Continuation of the desire for a natural and authentic journey
