Ideas about
Vanity
 |
Although the lyrics are short, they carry great wisdom within them. Vanity is one of the most controversial capital sins, but who can speak about the vanity of others without being hypocritical? No one, and not even I do that in this work. When I wrote these lyrics, I remembered the Book of Ecclesiastes from the Bible, traditionally attributed to King Solomon, which reflects on human life “under the sun” (that is, from an earthly perspective, without considering the eternal). The term “vanity” comes from the Hebrew word “hevel,” which means something like “vapor,” “breath,” or “chasing after the wind” – something fleeting. The phrases in the lyrics are full of vanity, but the final line admits: Have I become vain or just blind? The wind will soon tell me. The music video uses fruits as metaphors in a light way. And there is nothing more representative of vanity than a fashion show. And you, do you consider yourself vain? How far would you go to sustain your vanity? Lyrics
Where I wish to go No one can follow me. And the price to pay No one can pay for me. All the ways I chose No one will come to find. Did I turn vain, or just blind? The wind gon’ tell me soon Where I wish to go No one can follow me. And the price to pay No one can pay for me. All the ways I chose No one will come to find. Did I turn vain, or just blind? The wind gon’ tell me soon Where I wish to go No one can follow me. And the price to pay No one can pay for me. All the ways I chose No one will come to find. Did I turn vain, or just blind? The wind gon’ tell me soon |
