welcome back to Beats of The Heart Lyrics of The Soul here I
love to dive deep in depth into the
lyrics emotions and meanings of some of
the most amazing songs I have come
across in my life if you love all music
and you want to talk about the thoughts
and feelings it gives us as humans you
are in the right place I love the way
the artists voice sounds here at the
beginning of the song

talking what today is called one day and
it's by an artist named Matisyahu find it

music hit that red button to make my
heart beat for you and I will continue
to put all my soul into these videos for
you Matisyahu is a very popular
Jewish American reggae vocalist
beatboxer and alternative rock musician
I found Matisyahu a few years ago I
can't remember where I found him but I
originally heard a live version of this
song performed on a video from a radio
station when I heard Jewish reggae
superstar it caught my attention as
something new and different and when I
heard this song one day and heard the
sentiments and concepts that the artists
had written into the song it was only
topped by Matisyahu vocals that he
adds to the lyrics and the flow and
style he delivers this song is an anthem
of hope for peace between all humanity
and thoughts with prayer for the future
of humanity to open their hearts to have
peace and understanding and in turn
and these lyrics here I think we can all
relate to them in some way said the
lyrics we have we all feel this way some
of us never find that reason in our
lives because we feel so lost and most
of us grow up and realize we don't even
know ourselves all that well in the next
set of lyrics we have thinking about the
happening in the world war violent
slavery and the negative consequences
associated with the destructive power of
innocent lives through corruption and
death and these lyrics here
the first two lines contradict each
other on the surface but the two lines
tell a story of a man hurt and filled
with sadness when he has these thoughts
it even brings tears to his eyes when
the pressure of the negativity is too
much remember
and he knows one day we as humans will
find a way
so we see here he has faith in humanity
to eventually see the errors of the
humans of the past and president tell us
Matisyahu what do they say he hopes
for a new future where all the people
will stand up citizens and governments
alike to rise above war and have all
nations working towards a better
experience for all humans and existence
next we get these lyrics would give us
the most important reason to accomplish
this
a hidden message I've seen these two
lines is that the children as he says
they are not just what we consider as
children on the surface as an adult
myself and being a child once from my
experience in in my own mind
we are never children or adults in our
mind our consciousness doesn't seem to
age but as our body does we feel the
effects of time on our bodies now play
is usually considered as something fun
and we may have fun in life but I don't
think anyone would consider the act of
living life as a fun endeavor as a whole
it takes a lot of hard work but all
adults grown from children for all of
recorded history have always grown to
see war and rivalries as a normal thing
in countries and nations keep recycling
history because all children in the
world grow up to continue the same
cycles they learned or normal so here we
see he's speaking about war and the
children not about win or lose
it doesn't matter who wins or loses in
war because we lose so many innocent
people though the blood that stains a
pavement dries and disappears
there's never forgotten innocent blood
in all the streets and we continue
ignoring and not thinking about the true
repercussions of our actions as nations
and humans in the blood or water stays
raging flowing in the streets like the
constant river over time in these lines
here there is an amazing metaphor it is
really only one word that expresses the
entire metaphor in these lines but I
believe that is why the artist used the
word in the way he did referring to life
the word maze in the maze of life you
can always lose your way and become
someone or something you don't want to
be but think about that in the maze how
do we correct ourselves to get on the
right path when we hit a dead end the
same way is in life in a sense in a maze
we follow the path we took and see where
we took a wrong turn
to return to the right path in turn we
lose a time the mistake took to finish
the maze in life we can realize who we
are and who we want to be and in our
minds when we go back through our
memories which turns in life we took
that made us become the way we are and
not who we thought we were like a maze
we can find the right path but the
penalty is losing time in life being the
perfect you
and yeah hopefully we can all come to
our senses and the two things he
mentions here why the two exist I will
never know
these next lines continue the maze
metaphor I believe in a way we can make
a world a much better place eventually
every individual trapped in the world
called maze will see the wrong turns
they made and correct them when this
does change and we were all free from
the maze
causing all humans to imbue the quality
of acceptance equality non-violence and
no hostility towards any other life and
it would be that point when we all meet
each other at the end of the maze after
seeing everything we did wrong in our
lives we will all get out of the maze
eventually after correcting our behavior
some now some later some may take
forever it seems but we will all meet in
that one place eventually at the end of
the maze something I never thought about
until the words came out of my mouth
right now is how much that sounds like
the process of what religions refer to
as heaven or paradise the maze of life
on earth that we go through many right
and wrong turns in life but if we cannot
get to the end of the maze before time
runs out and we die we stay in the maze
and do not get to the amazing place at
the end if we have realized and
corrected all our mistakes and
wrongdoings in life we will arrive
outside the maze in a peaceful earth of
love with all humans working together
for a better of all creation and living
a heaven of sorts for all not just one
