Hanalei
Hanalei Harmony: Unveiling Nature's Wisdom and Societal Struggles
Lyrics
Come on mumma give me what you got
Calls for receiving what is offered or available
Hanalei Hanalei
Repetition of the place name "Hanalei" as a refrain or chorus
Butterfly the catcher and the dove
Metaphorical references to catching ephemeral beauty and peace
Hanalei Hanalei
Reiteration of "Hanalei" as a thematic element in the song
Your waters descending
Describes the flow of water from mountains down to cleanse
from your mountains ascending
Depicts the descent of water from high places
To my arteries for cleansing
Symbolizes purification through the water's flow
from the arteries of life
Emphasizes the cleansing process as essential for life
Your mountain says aloha
Mountains symbolically greet ancestral roots
to the roots of the the lapuna
References ancestors or elders in Hawaiian culture
And the old man Ayahuasca
Mentions a traditional plant brew known for spiritual purposes
on the quest for where and why
Highlights a quest for understanding existence
Come on mumma give me what you got
Reiteration of the request for what is available or offered
Hanalei Hanalei
Repeated refrain or chorus involving "Hanalei"
Butterfly the catcher and the dove
Symbolic imagery of capturing beauty and peace
Hanalei Hanalei
Repetition of the place name "Hanalei" for thematic emphasis
You're sprayin your chemicals
References the use of harmful substances for profit or power
to increase your decimal
Symbolizes the pursuit of increased wealth or control
To continue domination
Describes a desire for continued dominance
keep holding people down
Illustrates the act of suppressing others
Come on mumma give me what you got
Repeated plea for what is available or offered
Hanalei Hanalei
Reiteration of "Hanalei" as a recurring motif
Butterfly the catcher and the dove
Imagery of capturing delicate and pure things
Hanalei Hanalei
Restatement of "Hanalei" within the song's context
I'm only a man in my prime
Expression of being limited despite being in prime condition
Though my hands they are tied
Feeling constrained or restricted despite capability
If you show me the way
Willingness to follow a guiding path if shown
I will go I will go I will go
Repetition indicating eagerness to follow the path
See we've all been designed to reveal
Humans are designed to confront their personal challenges
our own knots we have tied
Recognition of self-imposed obstacles
we've all been designed to believe
Humans are designed to believe in something
and I believe I believe
Personal belief as an intrinsic part of human nature
I will go
Reiteration of willingness to proceed on a path
The trick about recognition
Importance of acknowledging or identifying issues
The trick about reconciliation
Importance of resolving conflicts or differences
Can one man fight his demons
Can a person overcome their inner struggles if hindered by others?
with another man holding him down
Symbolizes the challenge of self-improvement when facing opposition
The trick about recognition
Significance of acknowledging issues or conflicts
The trick about reconciliation
Significance of finding resolution or peace
Can a woman birth creation
Can creation or birth be hindered by external factors?
with a sister holding her down
Symbolizes the struggle for creation when faced with adversity
Come on mumma give me what you got
Repetition of the request for what is available or offered
Hanalei Hanalei
Continuation of the thematic use of "Hanalei"
Butterfly the catcher and the dove
Symbolic imagery of capturing beauty and peace
Hanalei Hanalei
Reiteration of "Hanalei" within the song's context
Come on mumma give me what you got
Repeated plea for what is available or offered
